I'm just after watching the Rich's keynote - the value of values. Man this is outstanding! If i only knew that before, my newest information system would be much easier to debug, state of entites were easier to reason and additionally I would had history, even by using current RDBM

There are few -if any- concepts attached to REST; it is just a low-level, "ideologically"-neutral technique. There is more than one way to do it, hence you really can't talk 'against' it any more than you can talk against hashmaps, for instance. That said, getting RESTful design right is pretty

i think per HTATEOAS, the methods are baked into the representations that are transferred, as URLs. i mean, you gotta have methods *somewhere* *somehow* that can *do stuff*, in an application-context-sensitive manner. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "C

Hi, in my understanding, RESTful system design (as described in Roy Fielding's dissertation) does not advocate hiding any state "behind a bunch of methods". :) In REST, application state is carried by the representation that is passed back and forth between the server and the client. It seems to

2012-08-14 Thread Conrad
Hi Everyone... Quick question about Rich's latest talk: In it he eloquently argues that "you don't want to systems to communicate with each other by calling each other's methods. Instead it is better to just move values between systems that can also be queued." It occurs to me that RESTful web
