Grokking REST - Nashville PHP, March 2011

I know it's super-short notice, but we are meeting this month!

We'll kick off the meeting at 6pm with some Q&A, followed by a presentation from Ben Ramsey on REST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer).

Ben Ramsey - Grokking REST

REST has become a hip buzzword of Web 2.0. But what makes an application RESTful? In this talk, Ben Ramsey reintroduces REST, uncovering each constraint that forms REST's principles. Ramsey explains how REST is a style for network-based software applications, emphasizing scalability and efficiency through separation of concerns and taking advantage of the Web as a platform for rich applications.
