Web-Services a RESTful Introduction for IBM i Developers

Session:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of web technology, web services stand out as a cornerstone for modern software development and integration. This session is tailored specifically for developers and IT professionals working with IBM i, aiming to demystify the concepts and practices surrounding web services. Our focus will be on understanding the fundamental technologies underpinning web services, such as HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), and the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer).

Whether you're looking to consume external APIs or expose your IBM i applications as web services, this introduction will set the foundation for your journey into the world of RESTful web services.
