Go REST with Rails
REST is all the rage, but what’s really in it for you? Using the REST support in Rails, Hansson will show you just how much simpler your code can be when you have to support Atom feeds, API calls, CSV exports, and more off the same functionality. We’re going to briefly explore the basics of REST and then work with some actual code including a few examples from 37signals applications.

DHH is exceptional ! This presentation was full of example, good speaker... After having read RESTful Web Services by Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby, and David Heinemeier Hansson, I had a lot of material on which I could work upon... In his presentation, David not only talked about REST but he explained the WHY. So it wasn't about going RESTful cause he thinks it was good for himself... It was more about you should go RESTful because of this or that reason... which made a lot of sense to me. Plus, I now understand concepts that I didn't quite understand in the book mentioned above.
Good job David !
