Matt Bishop is the Senior Product Architect at Elastic Path (EP). He and the dev team at EP have been busy for the last 18 months building out a Level 3 REST (HATEOAS) API for their high-end ecommerce system. Before that Matt was an Innovation Architect at SAP researching REST, trying to find a way to move SAP from SOAP to REST (failed) he also researched Comet and mobile applications. Before that was a stint working on mobile apps in the technical service industry (lots of mud, dust and toxic waste). Before that Matt worked at BEA on Weblogic Workshop 7 and 8 (Eclipse sucked back then too). Before that he developed software to print magazines and newspapers which is way more interesting that it sounds. There's a few other before-thats, including Atari Computers (not the games). Matt has been building internet apps (hello Server-Side Applets!) since when people thought AOL was the internet and the cool kids had shotgunned dialup. |

| Title | HATEOAS Your Cake and Eat It Too: Turning Complex Business Processes into an Easy-To-Use API |
|---|---|
| Level | Geeks of All Ages, Extended Talk |
| Abstract | We set out to build a HATEOAS server that had all the bells and whistles, only to find, well, not many pre-existing bells and whistles. By necessity we had to build our own HATEOAS server and figure out how to turn our complex ecommerce process into an API that required little training to succeed with. This talk will cover that journey and give some insight as to how to do it yourself. |

| Title | REST and Comet--Any Chemistry? |
|---|---|
| Level | Geeks of All Ages, Workshop |
| Abstract | Remember Comet? The Bayeux Protocol? Are REST and Comet at all interested in hooking up? This workshop will be about discussing if the asynchronous Comet model can communicate State effectively. We should have a quick primer on Comet at the top of the workshop and then see how it would work with REST as we know it today. |
