#JNUC - Casper on Rails: Accessing and Processing Your Data via APIs and Database Access

[blia]

Want to learn how REST APIs work? What about the difference between XML verses JSON? Join our session as we discuss best practices for accessing the JSS database, and learn the pros and cons of using the JSS REST API versus querying the JSS database directly. We'll also explore how you can use Ruby on Rails to utilize the JSS REST API with a Rails web app to collect and display data using REST methods.

Hey All,

If you missed it or want a copy of the slides and the sample Rails app, I'll be posting up the links in a few days.

Thanks!

Thanks! Can't wait to get access to the items from this presentation. Although it was a little over my head since I have never touched any Ruby development, I found it very interesting and would love to learn more about using it to access the JSS API.
