Building a maintainable bi-directional cross platform protocol

JSConfEU/201414-09-2014  Dovbush Pavel, William Lewis

Our talk with William Lewis at JSConfEU/2014

Common web frameworks make the assumption you are going to build against a RESTful API, but what if your use case doesn’t fit RESTful principles? How might you go about systematically designing a protocol between client and server? In this talk we are going to discuss how you can design and build an RPC-style protocol and service layer that is flexible and extensible enough to serve multiple cross-platform clients and servers, growing with application needs whilst letting developers focus on building features instead of maintaining API boilerplate.
