Mogsie

I'm Chief Architect of Escenic AS. I usually go by my nickname of Mogsie, and I freely admit that my knowledge of REST changes over time. The last six or so years have been spent implementing a hypermedia based set of resources along with a relatively generic hypermedia based client. I gave a talk at JavaZone 2009 together with Erlend Hamnaberg and I did the same talk at REST Fest 2010; videos are available on-line. Erlend has since left the company, but the fruits of my (and my co-workers') labour are publicly available in the form of a few media types: application/vnd.vizrt.payload+xml to describe modifiable fields and values and application/vnd.vizrt.model+xml that describe constraints of such fields and values. We've also accumulated a set of link relations we use and of course we use Atom feeds to convey lists of stuff, and OpenSearch documents to convey searchable stuff. The curious may browse our documentation at http://docs.escenic.com/ece-integration-guide/5.7/introduction.html (the Howto section is a useful starter). No, we don't have a sandbox available.

At REST Fest 2013 I had the honour of hosting the hack day, which exploded in a cacophony of agents when the day was over.

Talk proposal

This year I hope to bring some more love of State Machines to REST Fest. I have an extended talk where I try to show how really cool things happen if you take Statecharts and apply them to user interfaces. The talk introduces state charts, and the typical complexity of UI code, and what happens when you fuse the two.

The slides are available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14Uv3z25Z7DwbYD4SZzU5biQUPnBmED_6Tiv89dBXrTo/present
