The talk was okay, but a little basic, could've used more examples.
Web services for consumer devices
Melanie Rhianna Lewis (11.Jun.2010 at 16:45)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
A web service is an API provided by a site that allows a remote application to access data and use functionality without having to 'act like a web browser'. Consumer devices, such as a smart phone, set top box or games console, often do not have a form factor that allows the easy use of an interactive web site but do allow the download of custom applications which use web services provided by such sites. ||The talk will describe how a web service targeted at consumer devices can be implemented. It will look at the different methods of calling remote functionality such as SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON and restful services. It will also consider the limitations of consumer devices, memory restrictions, communications bandwidth restrictions, and so on that have to be considered when designing a web service aimed at consumer devices. Finally it will have a brief look at how to make a service secure.

Unfortunately very little information during this presentation, maybe next time keep in mind the audience are developers

There was a real lack of depth and detail. It was as informative as a casual one page article. Disappointing.

Nice concept but a little basic next time some more depth please.

Some nice points about how to deal with web services, a lot of which would apply to all uses (i.e. desktop as well as low-featured/powered devices). Nice to hear someone else agree sessions are unreliable when dealing with web services. Talk was a little difficult to follow at times, some of the questions at the end weren't clearly repeated (by the speaker) so I couldn't really follow the answers.

Too basic and out of the PHP interest in my opinion, also the talk ended too early.

A few pointers were made to things you should pay attention off when working with embedded/mobile devices. Although I missed the point you were trying to make in the talk, the things you mentioned made sense.
