Session: The Counterintuitive Web

Wednesday, 14:15 - 15:05
Track: Architecture

The Web doesn't care for your finely-honed application architecture principles - for your orthodox tell-don't-ask, information hiding dictums, separated concerns, and guaranteed and reliable delivery strategies. It's an irresponsible place, where exposing your data, polling for results and making your errors the client's problem are considered acceptable behaviour. But despite all this, it consistently beats our enterprise application efforts - and all at massive scale. Focusing on machine-to-machine interactions, this session will explore the implications of applying RESTful principles to Web service design and implementation.
