Hey guys, We're glad you enjoyed it! The code is probably not optimized (far from that) because it is our first Ruby project (our research group decided to adopt it as our new default language), and we're struggling to get it right, but we know that are many things that could be done in a much better way.
The thing we are most concerned right now is to set a class structure that works, that can support everything rest-api has to offer, and that is somehow simple to use. Because the other things will come naturally if this structure is correct. I think it can also be used as basis to other projects written in other languages, and concept-proof for REST-API once that this only works if REST-API also works. 2015-01-28 15:20 GMT-02:00 Peter Dietz <pe...@longsight.com>: > Hi Bruno, > > Very cool to see.
