The "Beyond REST" moniker is a little propaganda-ish. REST has its place and is a great architectural paradigm. Apart from that, the slideshow was pretty useful and informative. For me, it couldn't have come at a better time -- it pointed out a couple things about XMPP integration that no one had really clearly explained before. (For me, it helped clarify the distinction between XMPP itself and IM, and how one would build an app to leverage XMPP servers.)
- joshwa 18y agoYeah, a better title would have been "beyond RSS."
- thomatas 18y agoOr more generically "beyond polling." Polling is a great and simple solution for a range of problems (and why it's often one of the first tools programmers reach for), but as they point out PubSub often scales much better.
