It has long bugged many of the Webmachine hackers that this relationship with Alan Dean's HTTP flowchart is one-way. Webmachine was made from that graph, but that graph wasn't made from Webmachine. I decided to change that in my evenings last week.

I presented Riak at the NYC NoSQL Mini-Conference on October 5, 2009. Slides, text, and video of my talk are now available.Monday, August 17, 2009
Basho released Riak to the world last Friday. Riak is as simple as downloading it and hitting the HTTP interface. You can stop reading now and happily speak REST to it for the rest of your application's lifetime. If you're interested in more advanced features like field validation and link-walking, the rest of this post demonstrate those features by discussing the development of the demo application that comes with Riak.Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Webmachine (and Erlang use in general) is picking up. If you're looking for a few more people to follow in relation to webmachine, I have some suggestions.Friday, May 29, 2009
Many people have asked for an example Webmachine resource that responds to POST. If you follow my twitter feed, you may have caught this gem.

Justin Sheehy has just posted his video slideshow introduction to webmachine. The video contains the slides and most of the talk that Justin gave at the Bay Area Erlang Factory last month. If you've been thinking about checking out Webmachine, this half hour is well worth your time.

Alright, here it is, proof that Webmachine and CouchDB can coexist peacefully: I've posted an example Webmachine resource that proxies requests back and forth to a CouchDB instance. (Thanks for the kick, benoitc.)

This is the final entry in a four-part series that demonstrates how to take the simple os-environment Webmachine resource, and expand it to support modification, authorization, and conditional requests. Today I add support for DELETE.Friday, April 24, 2009
This is the third in a four-part series that demonstrates how to take the simple os-environment Webmachine resource I wrote last week, and expand it to support modification, authorization, and conditional requests. Today I add conditional requests through ETags.Thursday, April 23, 2009
This post continues a four-part series that demonstrates how to take the simple os-environment Webmachine resource I wrote last week, and expand it to support modification, authorization, and conditional requests. Today I add basic authorization.Wednesday, April 22, 2009
This post begins a four-part series that demonstrates how to take the simple os-environment Webmachine resource I wrote last week, and expand it to support modification, authorization, and conditional requests. Modification via PUT is up first.Monday, April 13, 2009
A little extra emphasis, I think, is appropriate here: Webmachine chooses the proper response code for you. You define methods that describe the state of your resource (like whether or not it exists, what methods it allows, etc.), and Webmachine negotiates the muck of HTTP.Friday, March 20, 2009
I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if your webserver could plot the path it took on that chart in handling a request?" Well, now it can - if you're using the latest Webmachine.Monday, September 29, 2008
One of the cool technologies I mentioned in my last post has just been released open-source. Webmachine is a nice framework for creating web-friendly resources. We use it as the engine for serving our dynamic web content. For a bit more color to the description, read Justin's post.
