Dipping my toe in the REST river

Hey everyone,

I am just starting to get into developing against the REST services for a small MVC app.  I recall from the conference that there were several helper and wrapper classes going around the various organizations.  I don't want to reinvent the wheel so if anyone would be so kind as to point me to some resources for getting started, it would be most appreciated.  I looked through the Tessitura documentation but found very little as to how to actually use the data once I have gotten the service responses.

Thanks in advance!

Sean

  • Hi Sean,

    The best place to get started is with the developer tools and sample projects that are part of the version upgrades.  Even some of the interceptor samples will be useful  since they work with the data.  The service interceptors that we have shared also make REST calls as well.  They are on TASK.  I would also check out some of the REST sessions from this years conference.

    I would recommend finding a REST client for chrome or firefox  that you like.  Fiddler.net can also be used.  This will then allow you to make REST calls without having write code.

    Regards,

    Jon

  • I agree with Jon, also DHC for Chrome is a good testing application, if you're a Chrome user.

    What language are you using for your MVC application? I have a handy PHP framework that I developed for consuming the REST API. I would be happy to share.

  • Hey Paul, I would like to see your PHP.
