Learn how hypermedia, the revolutionary idea that created The Web, can be used today to build modern, sophisticated web applications, often at a fraction of the complexity of popular JavaScript frameworks. In this book we will explore a simpler approach to building applications on the Web and beyond with htmx and Hyperview, two technologies that embrace hypermedia as a system architecture. We will look at what a hypermedia system is comprised of and what makes it special when compared with other system architectures. We will then look at how htmx, a modern hypermedia-oriented web front end library, makes it possible to build sophisticated user experiences using hypermedia. Finally, we will look at Hyperview, a modern hypermedia system for building mobile applications. While the book does touch on the theory of hypermedia and provides an overview of the language and concepts around it, it is also packed with practical and simple examples that you can immediately apply and modify for your own applications. Hypermedia was a great idea. It still is! After reading this book, you will have the tools necessary to apply this revolutionary approach to software to your own projects and applications.
