The web is built on an architectural style called
REST
-
A web page is a
representation
of a resource. Resources are just concepts -
the browser asks for the web page representation of the concept.
-
That's a geeky way of saying that different nouns can have the same verb applied to them.
-
HTTP--this protocol Fielding and his friends created--is all about applying verbs to nouns
-
very different kinds of nouns can be treated the same.
-
general purpose protocol for applying verbs to nouns.
-
When a machine
GETs the resource, it will ask for the machine readable one. When a browserGETs a resource for a human, it will ask for the human readable one.

REST provides a definition of a
resource
, which is what those things point to -
how do the machines tell each other where things are
-
If everything that machines need to talk about has a corresponding URL, you've created the machine equivalent of a noun
-
That's a geeky way of saying that different nouns can have the same verb applied to them.
-
polymorphism
-
Look at the coffee table. What are the nouns? Cup, tray, newspaper, remote. Now, what are some things you can do to all of these things
-
You can get them, right? You can pick them up. You can knock them over. You can burn them. You can apply those same exact verbs to any of the objects sitting there
-
Yes, it is. Our brains are somehow smart enough to know that the same verbs can be applied to many different nouns. Some verbs are more specific than others and apply only to a small set of nouns. For instance, I can't drive a cup and I can't drink a car. But some verbs are almost universal like
GET,PUT, andDELETE

viniciusjlThe Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) is an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources. The protocol is based on HTTP transfer of Atom-formatted representations. The Atom format is documented in the Atom Syndication Format.

Wife: Sounds like GET is a pretty important verb.
Ryan: It is. Especially when you’re using a web browser because browsers pretty much just
GETstuff. They don’t do a lot of other types of interaction with resources. This is a problem because it has led many people to assume that HTTP is just forGETing. But HTTP is actually a general purpose protocol for applying verbs to nouns.

at guy, Roy Fielding, he talks a lot about what those things point to in that research I was talking about. The web is built on an architectural style called
REST
. REST provides a definition of aresource
, which is what those things point to. -
Machines don’t have a universal noun – that’s why they suck.
