// James Phillpotts - Share All The Things
When OAuth came along, it gave us an easy way to allow a user to authorize one application to act as us on another application. And lo and behold, a never-ending list of demo applications using the Twitter API were born.
But still, you could only allow your application to use your user's access to the protected application as themselves. What about when you want a user to grant a different user the ability to access their resources - like Google Docs?
User Managed Access is a new profile of OAuth 2 that extends the 2-application, 1 user standard to 3 applications and two users. Join James, Alice and Bob to find out how you can add this to your applications right now.

// Tom Spencer - No REST For the Whippet
After years of fiddling around with RPCs and SOAP, RESTful APIs have won out to become the defacto standard for data exchange on the web. In this talk, I'll describe my process for designing such an API. After discussing the benefits of RESTful design, we'll continue with basic CRUD, authentication, error handling and more advanced actions. All using dogs as examples!
