Absolute Relative Url

The mystery of the trailing slash and the relative url

I had heard conflicting rumours about the significance of the trailing slash, so I decided to go googling.  If you explore the first few hits you will find all sorts of discussions about cool urls, the impact on SEO, the performance benefits of avoiding server redirects, amongst other stuff.  However, I found nothing that seemed […]

UnHappy Customer

A lesson in how not to handle an unhappy customer

Ayende posted an item a few days ago about a disappointing experience he was having with a software vendor, XHEO.  Today the company responded on its blog.  I tried to post the following comments on the blog but for some reason my comments have not appeared.

Rest API

Gems from rest-discuss

Just catching up on some posts in the Yahoo group rest-discuss and there is some great wisdom in there.

MGrammar

My first MGrammar

To say that I am fascinated by the Oslo project is a bit of an understatement.  I think the mGraph and mSchema capabilities are very interesting and my subconscious mind is working overtime to try and figure out how it fits into my database design, deployment and upgrade scenarios.  The Oslo repository is a major […]

API DOCUMENT

How to write a document describing a REST Api

Roy Fielding wrote this post recently on the proliferation of APIs that claim to be REST but are breaking some of the fundamental constraints of a REST style architecture. I was most struck by what Roy seems to be saying is required to document a REST Api. That is it.  If you look at most API specs […]
