This was an interesting talk about creating RESTful apps and the grammar of web apps. It was very interesting and gave me some things to research. I am not a developer in Rails or Python all the time. I do PHP - barely.

What does RESTful mean:

  • Common resources (nouns)
  • All resources need to be addressable
  • Standard methods of interaction
  • Protocol which is
  • Client/server
  • Stateless
  • Cached
  • Layered

URI are the nouns.

SQL:  select, create, update, delete

REST:  get post, put., delete

The web does not support the put and delete

[rails example]

open social

xrds: defines the names of resources for open social
