Commercializing the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Still, what we’re seeing today is an evolutionary step beyond the earlier
| vision. The cloud centers, analysts note, rely on a technological bedrock of
| industry-standard server computers and open-source software like Linux,
| linked together in massive computing clusters. Many of the techniques were
| initially developed in the nation’s federal supercomputing labs. The
| technology was applied at scale by the pioneering Internet companies (think
| Amazon, Yahoo and Google), and now I.B.M. and its commercial brethren are
| beginning to offer cloud computing.

REST (Representational State Transfer) and RESTful web services: Methods,
Concepts and Examples
,----[ Quote ]
| Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture
| for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web. As such, it is
| not strictly only a method of building what are sometimes called “web
| services.” The terms “representational state transfer” and “REST” were
| introduced in 2000 in the doctoral dissertation of Roy Fielding, one of the
| principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification.
| The terms have since come into widespread use in the networking community.

,----[ Quote ]
