Put Your Feet Up and Take a RESTful Approach

So you are up to your eyeballs in the WS* standards, and then they go and add REST.  That's all we need is another "standard" — or is it a standard? Come learn about REST… What is it, why use it and does it really replace WS*?  This session is a foundation session designed to give you a foundation in REST.   We will explore what exactly REST is, how and when to use it and what it is really about.

From Zero to sMash

In June of 2007, IBM started an initiative called Project Zero.  Project Zero is the development and incubation community for the IBM recently announced WebSphere sMash product.  In this session we will look at Project Zero (aka WebSphere sMash) to understand what exactly it is and what it can be used for.  This session includes an architecture overview and a look at the tools and technologies that make up Project Zero.
