You Look Like You Could Use Some REST! REST and the Resource-Oriented Architecture Explained
Ben Ramsey (13.Nov.2008 at 15:00)
Talk at php|works/PyWorks (English - US)
Representational State Transfer, or REST, has become the hip, new buzzword of Web 2.0. But what really makes an application RESTful? Is it pretty URLs? Or the use of XML over HTTP? Is it any web service that doesn't use SOAP? In all of the hype, the definition of REST has become clouded and diluted.
It's time to take a fresh look at REST. In this talk, Ben Ramsey reintroduces REST and its architectural style. He shows that REST is not only an architecture for web services but that it describes an architecture for the Web. Ramsey will demonstrate how statelessness, a resource-oriented architecture, atomicity of requests, and other traits of REST make the most of the Web's architecture to provide scalable and simpler web services turning the Web into a platform by which rich clients can access and manipulate data.

Maybe HTTP isn't as sexy to me as it is to Ramsey. I found my mind drifting on the slides with all the event sequences. Talk time went a bit over. Felt like just a bit too much content. Slides and talk-style were excellent. And I did indeed get the speaker's desired takeaway: it's all about resources.
