RubyConf India 2011 - I can haz HTTP
Niranjan Paranjape and Sidu Ponnappa of C42 Engineering recently spoke about consuming and producing HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystem at RubyConf India 2011. Here are the slides we used and a recording of the talk itself.
I can haz HTTP: Consuming and producing HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystem from Innovation & Technology Trust on Vimeo.
The Ruby ecosystem is pretty awesome when it comes to developing or consuming HTTP APIs. On the publishing front, the Rails framework is an attractive option because it supports publishing what are popularly (but inaccurately) referred to as 'RESTful' APIs quickly and effortlessly. On the consumer side, the Ruby ecosystem provides several very fluent and powerful libraries that make it easy to consume HTTP based APIs.
Since a significant proportion of projects today require that APIs be both published and consumed, many of them wind up choosing Ruby as a platform for the reasons mentioned above. This talk is targeted at folks that are currently on such projects, or anticipate being on such projects in the future.
