Proposed Talks

Title	HTTP: The Good Parts
Level	Keynote
Abstract	REST demands we think about resources, representations, and rich interactions; however, it's easy to forget the substrate upon which our beautiful hypermedia APIs "rest". HTTP has lots of interesting and powerful ways to enhance interaction and efficiency that most applications leave untapped because they focus so much on the act of processing a request, rather than the properties of the resource being requested. Let's look more closely at those HTTP features and then see how you can tap into them more declaratively with Webmachine.

Title	Niggling Conneg
Level	Five-in-Five
Abstract	How should web servers respond when it they are unable to satisfy the client's representational constraints? The HTTP RFCs are a little vague on the matter. These are some possibilities of what some "correct" responses might be. This 5-in-5 talk came from discussions I had with Darrel Miller, Mike Amundsen and Larry Staton, Jr. at RESTfest 2014.
