Presenter: Gregg Pollack - Rails Envy
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
