Summary In this session I'll discuss how a large telecommunications company has developed RESTful and Web-friendly services side-by-side with more traditional WS-* services. Using Atom, AtomPub, caching, URI templates and microformats, the company has addressed a wide range of challenges, from standard integration tasks such as exposing legacy data to custom and vendor applications and services, publishing and consuming events, and service monitoring, to more dynamic, ad hoc and differentiating activities that expose resources to partners, customers and internal composite applications. The session is of interest to architects and developers interested in or already using RESTful techniques within the enterprise. I'll discuss some of the criteria we used for making particular architectural and implementationdecisions and will demonstrate plenty of working code.  Bio Ian Robinson is a Principal Consultant with ThoughtWorks, where he specializes in the design and delivery of service-oriented and distributed systems. He has published numerous articles on business-oriented development methodologies and distributed systems design, most recently in The ThoughtWorks Anthologyand on InfoQ. He is currently co-authoring a book on Web-friendly enterprise integration.

Summary Until recently, HTTP was used for browsers to GET and POST HTML and a handful of other formats to and from Web servers, and it worked well. Recently, however, people have been finding more and more to do with it -- and not just because it can get through the firewall. This talk will take a hard look at where HTTP is today, and what implementations are doing well (and not so well). We'll also take a look at possible futures -- good and bad -- and how HTTP might be extended and evolve. Bio Mark Nottingham works at Yahoo! and has spent the last decade designing, debugging, serving and caching Web content, with past stints at Merrill Lynch, Akamai and BEA Systems, and co-authored specifications such as the Atom Syndication Format, WS-Policy and the WS-I Basic Profile. He currently chairs the HTTPbis IETF working group, tasked with clarifying the HTTP specification.
