No Fluff Just Stuff

Today is the first day of the Twin Cities Software Symposium. The first talk I attended was REST: Information Driven Architectures for the 21st Century by Brian Sletten. Very informative. Definitely not an introductory REST talk. I'm curious to hear Brian's Semantic SOA talk later today. A couple things that stuck included Jon Postel's "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send."

A couple of things Brian talked about that sound like they're worth investigating include Sinatra, a DSL for building web applications in Ruby and retrievr, which lets you find Flickr photos by creating a sketch of what you're after.

Brian's new gig sounds pretty cool: League of Legends.
