Interview with Guilherme Silveira, creator of Restfulie

Just read Guilherme’s interview over at InfoQ about Restfulie. Nice read. It’s great to see that our (upcoming) book is already helping people create Web applications and frameworks out there. “Jim Webber, Savas Parastatidis and Ian Robinson will release a book on using the web as one’s infrastructure in early …

Restfulie

Guilherme Silveria and Cau  Guerra are at it again. Great stuff guys! I can’t wait for our book to finish so that everyone can check out our discussion of hypermedia and the stuff we’ve built. It’s really great to see Restfulie taking a very similar approach to ours. Here’s Jim’s …

Restbucks hypermedia client? :-)

Wow… our book is not complete yet and folks have already started writing code based on our examples? :-) I just read on Jim’s blog that Guilherme Silveira, Adriano Almeida, and Lucas Cavalcanti have been doing some good work in this space. Very very cool. Excellent job! Now guys… we …

When patterns and frameworks get the job done

I loooove good technical arguments. Over the last couple of years, I have stayed out of the community discussions around REST, Web Services, SOA, Grid, and all that. This was a conscious decision on my part. I much prefer to focus on building technology rather than arguing about it :-) …

Woo hoo… pblog talks AtomPub

It really bothered me that I couldn’t blog from my MacBook Pro. Well, I did manage to post an entry but the particular blog editor didn’t offer a great experience. So far, Windows Live Writer is the best desktop client for blogging that I’ve used. Since I can’t have it …

The growth of Acer and lightweight OSes

I do hope that Microsoft is paying attention. There was public rhetoric a year ago about the appeal of Netbooks. Well, the just-released numbers say the story clearly… Netbooks (or cheap laptops) do have an audience and it seems that the audience is growing. Acer has had a great quarter …

Blogging from the Mac

I am evaluating different blog editors for the Mac. I am posting this from ScribeFire so be warned about what you might see here. Since I am on the road, I can’t test it against my test installation of pblog. Oh… I miss Windows Live Writer. What a great little …

Google Chrome OS

Google Chrome OS: The Web as the platform. Now, that’s interesting!!! Microsoft has been very slow in embracing the Web. It’d be interesting to see if there is any reaction to this.

Double WOW…

I would ordinary have included this as an update to my previous post about Microsoft’s Project “Natal” but I am soooo excited about the potential of the technology that I am posting a new entry. Double WOW WOW!!! I know that when Microsoft shoots a video and says that it’s …

Wow… “The controller is you”

Now, this is very cool. Even if half of what’s on the video is actually real, it’s still very exciting. This should be the way we interact with technology all around us. Wayyyyyy cool (and I am not just saying because it’s Microsoft”s upcoming addition to the living room). Via …

Jim is training the world :-)

Just noticed from his tweet feed that Jim is going to be sharing his brains through the Web. I suspect (haven’t talked to him about this yet) that he’s going to present most of the thinking that we are putting in our Web book. I know that I am biased …
