August General Meeting:
Designing HTTP URLs and REST Interfaces with PHP
RESTful APIs with JSON, XML and HTTP
------------------------------------------------

         Date: MONDAY August 30th, 2010 at 6:30PM (sharp)
     Location: IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, New York, NY (12th Floor)
RSVP Required: http://www.nyphp.org/RSVP/175 (all attendees MUST RSVP)
 Post-Meeting: TGI Fridays at Lexington and 56th (about 8pm)

August in the city - what a glorious time. This August, we're pleased to
have special guest David Zuelke join us for a look at the vital techniques
and technologies involved in REST interfaces and APIs.

IMPORTANT: This month's meeting is not on Tuesday - it's Monday the 30th.
Normal RSVP procedures still apply.

A lot of Web Services today claim to be RESTful APIs. But are they really?
Do the URLs form a logical hierarchy, and do they accurately identify
resources? Are the powers of HTTP leveraged properly? What is "hypermedia",
and what is the secret behind the HATEOAS acronym that is so essential to
the REST architectural style? This talk gives answers and guidelines using
real-life examples.

David Zuelke is the lead developer of the Agavi project, an open source MVC
framework for PHP, and managing director at Bitextender GmbH, a Munich,
Germany based software company. He has been doing PHP development for more
than ten years and regularly speaks at conferences around the world.
