REST as in Take it Easy

Tim Bray:

Microsoft coding guru Tim Ewald got a lot of people talking when he announced I finally get REST. Wow. and followed up with Three reasons that REST is not RPC. It’s nice that the word is spreading, but many REST converts see complicated magic where I see a few simple easy-to-understand virtues.

More WebFS

I’m back from Oxford! It was great.

I feared for a bit that my WebFS idea was dead, which would be kind of a pity. But it was picked up by some people, in particular Nik Cubrilovic (of OmniDrive). He’s created a WebFS wiki and mailing list. It’s still early, but it’s kinda nice to see things you say are taken seriously. Even Dave Winer posted about it.
