Yahoo web services

 

 

Yahoo! Developer Network offers Web Services and APIs that make it easy for developers to build applications and mashups that integrate data sources in new ways, making the web a more useful and fun place for everyone.

Web-service is a technology that enables interaction between any two applications. In order to get a clear picture look into the example below-
Consider a hotel booking site. When user selects a hotel and input all the information, he has to make the payment and for that the site requires user to select a mode of payment. If user selects CREDIT card as the mode of payment then user has to input all the credit card details. Now these details cannot be authenticated by the hotel booking site, it has to request the bank to authenticate the details provided by the user. But how will it interact with the bank because the bank application can be developed in any technology. The hotel booking site has no control over which technology the bank application has been developed.

That’s where web services come into field. It makes the interaction between two applications possible. It accomplishes by serving the data in the standard format such as XML or JSON.

In our example the hotel booking site will send all the CREDIT card related information. The bank application will then authenticate the credentials and then return appropriate response to the hotel booking site.

SOAP web service:

 

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is an XML based protocol which allows communications between different applications through only XML messages. It doesn’t allow other data format except XML. Java provides JAX-WS API for SOAP web services.

RESTful web service:

 

REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architecture style, not a protocol. It allows communication between client and server via standardized protocols. Java provides JAX-RS API for RESTful web services. It allows other data formats like HTML, XML, JSON.

 

Web services are self-contained, modular, distributed, dynamic applications that can be described, published, located, or invoked over the network to create products, processes, and supply chains. These applications can be local, distributed, or web-based.

Web services are XML-based information exchange systems that use the Internet for direct application-to-application interaction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yahoo Web Developer centers

 

Yahoo! Developer Centers are a great place to get started with a new language. They cover the basics on how to make Web service calls, parse XML, JavaScript, PHP ,  Python , also a  huge helper for writing dynamic web pages is the Yahoo! User Interface Library. It is a set of utilities and controls written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques.  The  Pattern Library, which explains the best solutions for reoccurred  problems in creating a website like  Autocomplete or Breadcrumbs.

Also the  Mashups  facility take data and content from one application and merge them with another, often to a startlingly cool effect. Pictures become more lively when matched with their geographic context. Many searches are far more valuable in a local context. Mashups typically allow a different view of the data, layering one source on top of another via use of simple web technologies like XML and REST.

(Verizon Media Open Source Program Office)

 

An open source program office (OSPO) helps developers of companies to use, contribute, and publish open source projects. Typically OSPOs perform governance, management, support, and strategy consulting functions to support company’s open source goals. Every company is different and their OSPOs differ too. Yahoo! Developer network is an active participants of the TODO Group and have benefited greatly from (and contributed back to) the shared body of work about OSPOs.
