What does it take to build a general use Hypermedia Client? And why do such a thing anyway? Mike Amundsen is here to help you answer these questions and more -- all in 90 minutes or less.

Complete Hypermedia in One Session

This tutorial walks you through the basics of creating a fully-functional general-use hypermedia client as an HTML Single Page App (SPA). With just a single HTML page, a dash of CSS and a chunk of javascript, you can write a fully-compliant Collection+JSON general-use client that works w/ any API server that outputs Cj responses.

And this client adapts to changes in the API including:

• Changing URLs
• Adding new fields
• Adding new features
• Changing workflow

What You'll Need

• Your own wifi-enabled laptop/tablet
• Your favorite editor/IDE
• Basic HTML/CSS skills
• A strong knowledge of Javascript
• A good dose of skepticism
