July 2011 Meetup - Jeremy Brown's "A Conversation About REST"

[Chris Cornutt]

For our July 12th meetup we'll be back in the SoftLayer offices and
will have a presentation from Jeremy Brown - "A Conversation About
REST". REST-ful web services are becoming more and more popular, so
come find out more about this growing technology used by companies
like Flickr, Twitter and Google.

----------------------------
A REST API involves more than just pushing data back and forth between
endpoints.REST is a set of principles and not a specification, so as
such you have freedom inhow to develop your API. This freedom can lead
to confusion though, as it's hard to find concrete examples of its
implementation. This presentation explained what REST is and also
presented a variety of topics and questions you will certainly come
across while implementing your API.

A demonstration of a REST API written in Zend Framework will also be
included.
----------------------------

As usual, SoftLayer will be providing food and drinks for all
attendees to enjoy. Come on out and learn about REST July 12th @ 7pm
