design engaged 2008 (tecznotes)
All of this is a way of showing how Roy T. Fielding's 2000 PhD thesis on Representational State Transfer has utterly dominated the discourse of publishing through the web. It's an incredibly productive architectural idea, and it's been the primary area of experimentation and development for geeks like us since the implosion of the previous web bubble.

On peut diviser un espace fermé et défini ou un espace ouvert où l'on fixe le centre de système de coordonnées sur un objet en particulier.
