Webmachine is a system for easily and declaratively building well-behaved HTTP applications. It is based on a very different execution model than most frameworks, with sets of resources defined by collections of functional predicates over those resources. This aproach makes it easy to focus on writing the core of your application and also helps you to get the harder parts of HTTP right. Justin will discuss Webmachine's unusual Web programming model and demonstrate the simplicity and power that this model provides.
