The Future of Web Services

If you're just getting into Rails or you're not entirely clear on the whole REST thing, I gave a talk on Thursday, December 13th at the Orlando Ruby Users Group you might want to watch. A few weeks ago I didn't fully understand why REST was good, or why I should design my applications in a RESTful way. Hopefully this talk will help spread some understanding on the topic. Here is what I cover: The big problem with Web Services Does REST solve this problem? What is REST? Why is it only now that big companies are using REST? How did Rails become RESTful? Live Rails Code Demo Can Java talk to a RESTful Rails server? What is ActiveResource? What are the benefits of being RESTful? How do we take RPC type functions and make them RESTful?
