Web Services on
Rails
By Kevin Marshall
This Site will show you
how your small business or enterprise can publish its APIs
(application programming interface) to a developer community just
like the behemoths of the InternetGoogle, Yahoo!, eBay, and
Amazon.
These giants already
offer their APIs to other programmers and allow for addon services
and mash-ups to develop from thembut until recently, the capability
for most enterprises to do the same was limited by a myriad of
competing standards and a lack of easy-to-use tools to accomplish
the task.
Ruby on Rails levels
the playing field for companies by simplifying the process of
building web services and documenting APIs. Now with Rails,
enterprise-quality tools are available for all
developers.
In this document,
we'll look at how Ruby on Rails makes building web service clients
and servers simple and fun. Along the way, we'll give working
examples and code details so you can see just how everything
works.
