Dan Diephouse (formerly of XFire, now with MuleSource) gave a presentation recently at JavaZone Norway and the PDF and MP3 are now available here.
I haven’t listened to the MP3 but the PDF had some good tidbits and gave some insight into Dan’s approach regarding RESTful services in an SOA environment. He doesn’t go into enough detail for my tastes (I like to see as much nitty gritty detail as possible) but it’s more than just a rehash of management-techno-speak so I appreciated it. There are some sections which are pretty basic (like explanation of SSL). There is also some good information about transactions and why we should approach them differently knowing some technical constraints in the HTTP protocol and stateless web communications. He briefly touches upon security issues also. All in all I wish he went into more detail, but it’s all good; another contribution to the RESTful services discussion and it’s pros/cons.
Update
Dan’s website mentioned in the PDF doesn’t seem to work (http://www.netzooidicom.com/blog).
