From brian at megapump.com Mon Feb 19 08:21:52 2007 From: brian at megapump.com (Brian Hendrickson) Date: Mon Feb 19 08:21:58 2007 Subject: [uf-rest] new implementation for php Message-ID: <3A51C92F-8FC2-470D-8036-04B465A2C14D@megapump.com> Hi, my name is Brian Hendrickson and i'm from Portland, Oregon. I'm 33 years old, married with one child, and I enjoy working with PHP and PostgreSQL. My only claim to fame is as winner of the Race to Linux programming contest, which challenged participants to convert a .NET app to run on Linux. For the past year i've been applying microformats, content- negotiation and rest-style services concepts to my open source php framework, dbscript. I attended a Ruby on Rails architecture workshop with Jeremy Voorhis to pick up on the latest concepts from Restful Rails. I've tried to adhere to the practices used by rails for urls and representations. Learn more about dbscript at: http://dbscript.net (see the examples & documentation) Additionally, I made Code Stylist, a graphical utility for publishing with dbscript. It combines database schema with code generation templates to generate schema-specific representations (xhtml/atom/wml/ jpg) for each resource. The program can quickly build a working, dynamic Web site featuring rest-style services, atom feeds and a built-in introspection resource with html & atompub representations. Download it from: http://codestylist.com (see the screencast & screen shots) I would be very appreciative of any feedback or ideas about these pieces of code, adapters are included for MySQL and PostgreSQL at this time. I recommend creating a test database while exploring how this code works, because it will create several new tables in the database. thank you for your time Brian Hendrickson Megapump, Inc. 503.358.7501 From prabhaka at apple.com Tue Feb 20 12:55:19 2007 From: prabhaka at apple.com (Ernest Prabhakar) Date: Tue Feb 20 12:55:23 2007 Subject: [uf-rest] RESTful Rails Development PDF (English) Message-ID: <6332913F-3223-4D20-8933-BC82BDD151FC@apple.com> Hi all, Apologies for the cross-posting, but (IMHO) this is a pretty significant development for both communities: RESTful Rails Development by Ralf Wirdemann & Thomas Baustert http://www.b-simple.de/documents As most of you know, Rails 1.2 made a pretty dramatic shift towards RESTful web applications. This document (recently translated from the German) is the definitive summary of what REST looks like from the perspective of Ruby on Rails -- which I suspect is where many new programmers are going to first experience REST! So, I encourage y'all to check it out. And, if you find areas where you think Rails isn't being RESTful enough, let me know and I'll collate the feedback for Mr. Rails, David H. (though I think he's on at least one of these lists himself). -- Ernie P. RESTful Rails Development PDF Released http://www.rubyinside.com/restful-rails-development-pdf- released-392.html POST BY PETER COOPER A month ago I reported on the release of a PDF (in German) covering Rails' REST abilities by Ralf Wirdemann and Thomas Baustert (the authors of the first German Rails book, "Rapid Web Development mit Ruby on Rails"). With the help of Florian G?rsdorf and Adam Groves, they've produced a fine English translation titled "RESTful Rails Development". It's still free (although donations are accepted). It's only about thirty pages long, but in that space it packs in a lot of information about Rails and REST, including REST routing, URLs, view techniques, path methods, and how to nest resources. If, like me, you're a Rails developer who's pretty savvy at the 1.0 level but haven't made the leap into the world of REST, it's a great primer.
