By following the REST style, I would have saved myself either A) having to alter my iOS code and resubmit to the store, or B) time spent researching alternate caching methods and implementing them in Rails. As it stands, my partially-RESTful API is going to cost me (and possibly the client) more time before we can call the project finished.

But as a designer, I need to know the full range of options — and limitations — I have at my disposal when building a design for a client. jQuery presents some amazing options for design.

It's funny how you don't hear so much about service mashups these days, despite their undeniable coolness. I'll assert that it's because developing for Web data in the browser is bloody hard work, especially when there are NxN arbitrary API mappings to know.

One final approach that I find very interesting was mentioned by Jan Algermissen a while ago: If your format is based on an existing one, e.g. HTML or XML, your server can actually send the same content with different MIME types, depending on the client’s capabilities. A client that only included application/json in its Accept header would then get the content labeled application/json, while one that includes the specific MIME type application/vnd.whatever would get the same content with this label applied.

Prononcez à brûle-pourpoint la proposition : l'art est difficile, au moment où vous passez devant un miroir. D'abord vous hocherez la tête, ensuite vous rirez. C'était fatal. Il y a dans les phrases qui présentent un vice de construction je ne sais quel élément qui agit sur la rate humaine, car pour la rate des chiens il ne semble pas qu'elle ait le sens de l'humour verbal. Dire que l'art est difficile, suppose chez l'auteur de la phrase l'ignorance totale des mots dont il se sert. Qu'est-ce qui est difficile ? Un chemin, un client, un problème. Puis-je m'exprimer ainsi : le ciel est difficile... ? Oui, si je consens à mettre une majuscule au firmament, ce qui est un moyen de le personnaliser. Car difficile est une épithète qui ne peut se joindre qu'au défini. C'est pourquoi l'art n'est pas difficile. Il n'est pas facile non plus. Louis Aragon, Traité du style (1927)
