Chris Wanstrath on Github
Apr 19th
Obie Fernandez has a nice interview with Chris Wanstrath of Github up on InfoQ. Github continues to be fascinating, both the company as a startup and the product as a change to how people interact with and around code.
From the interview, I particularly like the sound of their hiring practices, which have so far seemed very focussed on new employees’ community engagement and potential to bring new ideas to the table.
Versatile RESTful APIs Beyond XML
Mar 14th
An article I wrote has just been published over at InfoQ. It’s called Versatile RESTful APIs Beyond XML and shows how easy it can be to extend Rails’ RESTful behaviour to input and output resources not only as XML but also as JSON and Microformatted HTML.
The article builds on some posts on this blog, such as Intercepting Microformats In Rails Input, but offers a bit more context. The timing of the article fits nicely with a post on the microformats-rest list about Rails, REST and microformats, so hopefully we’ll see more discussion of these concepts over the coming weeks.
