  • Spending some time on NIP.NET

    It’s been a while since I touched my NIP.NET work. NIP was originally developed in C++ as part of my PhD research with Prof. Paul Watson.

  • The new paragraph on REST and some more comments

    Following from my previous post, here is the revised (again) paragraph that Jim Webber and I agreed on. There have been proposals for naming and uniformly providing access to resources, such as the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) [24] model.
