Hadi Hariri, JetBrains — «Embracing HTTP in the era of API’s» и «A Gentle Introduction to Reactive Extensions»

Лидер команды Developer Advocacy компании JetBrains выступит в Петербурге с двумя докладами. Первый — о возможностях протокола HTTP, о которых многие даже не знают. Второй — о том, когда и как именно можно использовать реактивные расширения.

Embracing HTTP in the era of API’s
It’s all about REST in today’s world. Every service you look at, people are providing a REST API for it. Surprisingly, very few of these API’s are even REST, if we’re talking about REST as in a system that abides by a series of constraints making it RESTful. But the positive note is that it has brought to light the power of HTTP as an application protocol, something very often undervalued and misunderstood, even today.

This talk is going to focus on the core values of HTTP for what it is. It will cover all aspects including

• Headers
• Error Management
• Verbs
• Content Negotiation
• Caching
• Security
• Messages
• Request and Responses

In essence you'll understand HTTP much better, learn to differentiate an HTTP API from a system with RESTful constraints and also understand benefits of providing REST API — if such a thing were to exist of course!

A Gentle Introduction to Reactive Extensions
Reactive Extensions have been around for quite a while. First originated in the Microsoft space, they are now available pretty much on any language and platform, including Java and JavaScript. In this session we’re going to understand what reactive extensions are all about and how we can leverage them to create asynchronous and scalable applications. We’ll see the benefits they provide over other more traditional asynchronous models and see how to put them to use with practical examples. This session is about finally understanding Rx and removing all the myth surrounding it.
