Roy Fielding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roy T. Fielding (born 1965) is one of the principal authors of the HTTP specification and a frequently-cited authority on computer network architecture.
Fielding was born in Laguna Beach, California, U.S.A., and received a doctorate from the University of California, Irvine in 2000.
Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures, Fielding's doctoral dissertation, describes Representational State Transfer (REST) as a key architectural principle of the world wide web, and received a large amount of attention. People now frequently hold up REST as an approach to developing web services, and an alternative to other distributed-computing specifications such as CORBA. Fielding has also been heavily involved in the development of HTML and Uniform Resource Identifiers, was a co-founder of the Apache HTTP Server project and is a member of the OpenSolaris Community Advisory Board. He currently works as chief scientist at Day Software in Newport Beach, California.
