Here are presentations about Creating RESTful JSON Web services with different versions of DataFlex, that Mike has delivered at conferences:

Creating RESTful JSON Web Services with DataFlex 19.1

UK DataFlex Meetup – Mike Peat
Bromsgrove Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh, Scotland
October 2018


Summary:

A technical presentation by Mike Peat about creating RESTful web services with DataFlex 19.1 (Alpha 5 at the time of this presentation).  Note, this presentation is very similar to the earlier version, for 19.0 presented in Edinburgh, May 2018 (see below) with the differences to reflect the newer version of DataFlex, in in the last few slides. Looking at how to create RESTful JSON-based Web Services in DataFlex and some of the reasons it is important to do that. In addition, the presentation discusses some of the design constraints which make such services truly “RESTful”, as opposed to simply being JSON-RPC over HTTP, and how to go about meeting those in our APIs

The slides are available at: Creating RESTful web services with DataFlex 19.1 (Alpha 5) Presentation slides.

Looking for something more recent?

Since giving these presentations, things have of course moved on and you may want to read Mike’s REST and DataFlex blog series, which a comprehensive set of articles starting with some basic history and then moves on to how to make HTTP requests and receive their responses and then finally examples of how to do that with DataFlex.
