A Dozen Primers on Important Information Standards
To bring you up-to-date on as many standards as possible, the editor in
chief commissioned a dozen primers. In each, a subject expert explains
one standard in just one page. This directly fulfills part of CIL’s
mission, which is to deliver practical articles that make technology
understandable. This value-added section covers these applications:

RESTful HTTP, unAPI, XMPP (aka Jabber), and ZeeRex. Find out what these
acronyms stand for and what these apps can do for you.
