- 19:0419:04, 13 March 2026 diff hist +6,804 N Describing HTTP Endpoints and Discovery Created page with "HTTP endpoints are the public “doors” into a system. How those doors are described, exposed, and discovered determines whether an API is usable, evolvable, and maintainable. This article explains what HTTP endpoints really are, how clients discover them, and why good discovery design matters more than most people realise. == Context == HTTP was not originally designed for APIs — it was designed for '''documents linked together'''. APIs inherited HTTP, and with i..." current

- 14:5314:53, 13 March 2026 diff hist +7,109 N Responsive Web Design: HTML Is Already Responsive, and What Print Media Taught Us Created page with "= Responsive Web Design: HTML Is Already Responsive, and What Print Media Taught Us = '''Summary:''' Responsive Web Design is often described as a modern evolution of web development — something invented to solve new problems. In reality, HTML was already responsive from the very beginning. The core behaviours we now call “responsive” were present in the earliest browsers, long before mobile devices existed. This article explores why HTML was always fluid, w..." current

They describe how a system behaves when features, capabilities, or assumptions are missing — whether by design, constraint, or failure. This article explains both approaches, where they came from, how they differ, and how they are applied in real..."
- 14:3514:35, 13 March 2026 diff hist +5,428 N One Data Model, Many Representations Created page with "= One Data Model, Many Representations = '''Summary:''' Modern web systems often create unnecessary separation between websites and APIs. In reality, both are simply different representations of the same underlying data. When designed correctly, a website can function as an API, and an API can render a complete website — without semantic loss, duplication, or inconsistency. This article explores that principle and the machine‑readable HTML technologies that make i..." current
- 14:0614:06, 13 March 2026 diff hist +8,061 N Accessibility, ARIA, and Semantic HTML Created page with "= Accessibility, ARIA, and Semantic HTML = '''Summary:''' Accessibility is not a feature, a checklist, or an optional enhancement. It is the discipline of ensuring that meaning, structure, and behaviour remain usable when visual presentation is removed. This article explains how semantic HTML, ARIA, and backward‑compatible design work together — and why misuse of ARIA often makes accessibility worse, not better. == Context == Accessibility is frequently misund..." current

- 12:4312:43, 13 March 2026 diff hist +10,782 N Digitizing Paper Forms and Business Processes - What to Remember and What to Forget 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..." current
- 12:2812:28, 13 March 2026 diff hist +7,767 N Tabular Data: From Paper Ledgers to APIs 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..." current
- 11:4511:45, 13 March 2026 diff hist +3,422 N How Computers Interact with HTTP Endpoints 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..." current

- 11:2311:23, 13 March 2026 diff hist +7,884 N HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) 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..."

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..."
