Class Project
The purpose of this project is to gain familiarity and experience with a remotely-accessible
services architecture running on the Linux platform. Web services are by far the most common
type of service offered in this manner. Aside from web pages that we visit through our
browsers, most connected mobile applications utilize a back-end web service as a means for
commuinication. These services typically expose an API which allows applications to submit
and request specific information. You may find yourself needing to deploy, assess, support or
design a large web application. Whether your role involves support of the server directly, the
network it resides on, or the security of the solution as a whole, understanding how the
services work is pivotal.
