Talk by Ian Robinson

Do you know what your enterprise apps get up to in their time off? Fighting fantasy, pick-your-path, hypermedia-driven, RESTful Web application adventures--of course.

In this dungeon delve I'll show how we can use hypermedia-driven Web applications to model rich workflows. We'll tackle the many-headed Hydra of HATEOAS, the “Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State” monster; level up through the Web services maturity heuristic; and meet the dwarves with grudges. As we explore the ruins of the enterprise BPM landscape, we'll learn how to model business processes as domain application protocols, implement them in terms of resource lifecycles, and advertise them using HTTP idioms, media types and link relation values.
