__Domain Modeling with REST__
For some time now, REST has been the One True Way to build Rails applications. Unfortunately, though, RESTful design is often easier to aim for than it is to achieve. Complex domain modeling with resources can be a challenge, and the implementation of REST in Rails itself can cause unexpected problems. In this talk, I'll be discussing these issues and more. By the time we're done, you'll be ready to build the RESTful systems you've always dreamed of - or, at least, make your applications simpler to build, maintain, and integrate with the rest of the web.
About the speaker: Ben Scofield is a developer with Viget Labs, using Ruby and Rails to help companies like Squidoo and ODEO achieve their startup dreams. He's also the proud dad of a newborn baby girl (so please excuse the bleary eyes!)
