Love Bret's style. Also love how the crowd went silent after the "API" slide.

- kintamanimatt 13y agoI don't know that it was a bad thing though. As soon as I saw that I started to think about how that might be possible, or even if it could be possible. Fundamentally there has to be some kind of common discovery protocol underlying it; it just doesn't appear to be possible (yet) to have two unknown systems talk to each other with an unknown protocol. That'd be like two monoglots, a German and Russian speaker figuring out how to talk fluently with each other. I suppose it would be possible using gestures and props, but these non-verbal clues could themselves be thought of as a kind of discovery protocol for figuring out the more efficient protocol that enables verbal communication.
- peregrine 13y agoYou should look into Hypermedia API's. The entire point is to have a discoverable API where the developer doesn't need to know low level details. Theoretically, you could write a library to parse, adapt, and act on another API. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15214526/why-hypermedia-api http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15214526/why-hypermedia-a...
