Webmachine for Ruby talk
link: “Webmachine For Ruby” talk slides.
Webmachine is an Erlang framework for building well behaved REST applications that use HTTP properly.
There is also a Ruby port of the framework.
I did a talk at Melbourne Ruby meetup about it a few months back.
You can view the slides from the talk, and I wrote a toy app to go with it that shows off building a simple URL shortener using Ruby Webmachine.
