I presented my talk yesterday on AtomPub. You can find the slides here.

Its been quite interesting to research and I’ve learned a lot about building services on the web. Thanks to James Snell and others on the Abdera list for helping me with some larger APP questions that I had. The answers were worked into this presentation.

While APP is not the one true protocol, I think I’m hooked. I’ve been doing a fair amount of work on Abdera in my spare time and have put together a Mule Abdera transport as well. It makes it pretty trivial to consume feeds, publish entries and build services with Abdera. One of my broader goals is to make integration as easy as possible with HTTP for those bringing together a variety of platforms and systems. Mule is a great platform to help do that, but more details on that next week when I have more time to write!

The other talks at the QCon SOA track were great. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and it was probably one of the best tracks I’ve ever attended. Some highlights:

• Sanjiva being heckled in every talk about WSDL
• Pete Lacey’s discussion of Microformats. I don’t know that it all really clicked for me until yesterday.
• Jim Webber’s non-family friendly version of REST which was hilarious
• Steve Vinoski’s use of the word serendipitous which will most certainly be a larger part of my vocabulary now
