DATE: Thursday the 27th of November.

This workshop aims to show how web API can be encapsulated and distributed through Web Components in order to dramatically lower the implementation barriers and be able to define which customisations are allowed with great precision.

GABRIELE LANA
I proudly call myself  “Software Craftsman”. I began to love this profession as a child at the end of the ’80s and this feelings never left me since then. Now I have more than 15 years of professional experience in many fields such as: industrial automation (soft realtime), medical, banks, insurance, monitoring, servers for MMO realtime games, distributed systems, mobile games, online/mobile payment platform and others. After all those years I came to the conclusion that I still have many things to learn, but it’s ok, because I love programming like 25 years ago.

ABSTRACT
Today there are basically three way to distribute a web API to third party developers:
– through an URL endpoint
– using a JavaScript file to be included in the target document
– using an iframe tag

By using Web Components we have a fourth choice, we can create a custom tag or a custom attribute of an existing tag and use it to encapsulate our behaviour, for example a we can think to show the last tweet of a user by creating a tag like:
<last-tweet username=”@sandropaganotti”></last-tweet>

During the workshop we’ll discover how to build Web Components and use them in our applications.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

- A Web Component Life Cycle
- Building <note-this> a Web Component for taking notes
- Developing Web Components using Polymer
- Developing and testing Web API: the right way
- Testing and distributing Web Components

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This workshop has the following training objectives:
- illustrate the nature of Web Components, their inner structure and they features
- teach how to write a proper Web Component and how to design its corresponding set of REST API
- discuss pro and cons of Web Components and their current browsers’ support.
