Todd fredrich

Software architect at Pearson eCollege, focused on "RESTful best practices" and API strategy--but also passionate about the simplest thing that could possibly work.

Author of the Java REST Framework, RestExpress, that powers many of eCollege's HA and infrastructure services (https://github.com/RestExpress/RestExpress), along with the training site, http://www.RestAPITutorial.com to promote service consistency and best practices.

This is my first REST Fest and I look forward to learning/talking a lot about hypermedia and REST in the coming few days.
