A couple newsworthy items:

• The July/August 2010 issue (PDF) of The Functional Web column is available, this time with guest columnist Aaron Bedra writing about using Clojure and the Compojure web framework on the Google App Engine platform. Pretty interesting read, and plenty of code examples.

• Sadek Drobi interviewed me about Erlang and REST at Erlang Factory back in March, and the interview is now up at InfoQ.

For the May/June issue of “The Functional Web” column in Internet Computing magazine, I’m fortunate to have David Pollak, creator of the Lift web framework, as a co-author. There’s a fair bit of code in this column, which I always like, and it’s worth looking at just to see how brief but powerful Lift and Scala can be in the hands of a master like David.

As always, feedback welcomed.

They handed out this poster at Erlang Factory. Brilliant!

The Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2010 conference just wrapped up last Friday, and it was fantastic. The talks were of high quality and the conference organization was excellent. The slides for all the talks should be on the Erlang Factory site soon.

If you missed this one, I strongly encourage you to attend the London Erlang Factory coming up in June if you can.

The program for the First International Workshop on RESTful Design (WS-REST 2010) is now online. As a member of the program committee I helped review submissions, and the ones I read were generally of pretty good quality, so I’m confident this will turn out to be a worthwhile workshop.
