| N 12:43 | Digitizing Paper Forms and Business Processes - What to Remember and What to Forget diffhist +10,782 Dex talk contribs (Created page with "= Digitizing Paper Forms and Business Processes — What to Remember and What to Forget = '''Summary:''' Paper forms are not mistakes to be erased; they are artefacts of real work that evolved under physical constraints. When we digitize, we should preserve what paper gets right (clarity, authority, linear flow) and retire what it does poorly (long, multi‑party, storage‑heavy, silo‑creating processes). This article explains how to analyse the business process be...") | ||||
| N 12:28 | Tabular Data: From Paper Ledgers to APIs diffhist +7,767 Dex talk contribs (Created page with "= Tabular Data: From Paper Ledgers to APIs = '''Summary:''' Long before computers existed, organisations recorded information in tables. While the technologies used to store and serve data have evolved — from paper ledgers to flat files, database servers, and modern APIs — the fundamental shape of most business data has remained remarkably consistent. This article explores that continuity, and how successive generations of systems have focused less on changing the...") | ||||
| N 11:45 | How Computers Interact with HTTP Endpoints diffhist +3,422 Dex talk contribs (Created page with "= How Computers Interact with HTTP Endpoints = '''Summary:''' This article explains how computers programmatically communicate with remote systems using HTTP-based interfaces. It covers common web service approaches including XML-RPC, SOAP, RESTful APIs, and JSON-RPC, explaining how they differ, why they exist, and where each is still encountered in real-world systems. == Context == HTTP is often thought of as a protocol for humans using web browsers. In practice, it i...") | ||||

11:23 (cur | prev) +7,884 Dex talk contribs (Created page with "= HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) = '''Summary:''' HTTP is an application‑layer protocol that defines how clients and servers exchange representations. While often described as simple and stateless, real‑world HTTP behaviour is shaped by decades of evolution, intermediaries, infrastructure policy, and layered usage. Understanding HTTP as a '''container protocol''' is essential to designing, publishing, securing, and troubleshooting modern systems. == Context == H...") | |||
| N 10:45 | Ethernet, Frames, and Thinking in Containers diffhist +9,204 Dex talk contribs (Created page with "= Ethernet, Frames, and Thinking in Containers = '''Summary:''' Ethernet is the foundational link technology of modern networking. It was designed as a practical engineering solution long before formal network-layer models existed. Understanding Ethernet frames and encapsulation as physical containers makes concepts such as MTU, VLANs, and packetisation intuitive rather than abstract. == Context == Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s to solve a loca...") | ||||
