REST (Representational State Transfer) is the paradigm that allows the
web to scale massively. Yet REST is also the hot new architectural
style for web services. So what is REST? This talk aims to answer that
question, head off a few common misunderstandings, and demonstrate the
REST style with simple walk-throughs of client/server interactions.
The talk is aimed at anyone interested in web services in general and
REST in particular. It does not presuppose knowledge of REST, nor
of the HTTP specification. Moderate familiarity with Python is assumed
for the second half (the simple example server will use WSGI, but it's
OK if you don't know WSGI). Some familiarity with HTML is desired.
