RE: Reading list for September Face to Face meeting

Mike,

I rather object to your summary of REST reading materials being the Paul
Prescod op-ed article and not refering to material from the W3C Web
Architecture doc or Dr. Fielding's thesis on REST.  On Aug 30, the W3C TAG
published a Working Draft of Architecture Principles, which includes a
section on REST and shared information space [1].  For my part of the REST
presentation, I intend to cover material in the TAG document.  No surprise,
given I wrote the TAG sections that summarize REST, among other
contributions :-)  In general, I would like to use authoritative references
rather than op-ed pieces.  For example, Dr. Fielding's thesis section 5 is a
wonderful and definitive source of information on REST.  I heartily
encourage people to read the TAG summary and Roy's thesis for REST.

I will also note that the TAG is having some heartburn over the issue of
what is part of architecture or not, so we are not nearly alone in
navel-gazing when figuring out how far architecture goes wrt documents and
charters.

Cheers,
Dave

That should keep you busy even on the longest flight, and entertain you if
you find yourself stuck in an airport somewhere :-)

I look forward to meeting you next week!
