Interfaces are Dumb (and that's a Very Good Thing)
Webhooks and Protocols (like Rack) don't care what's on the other side of the
abyss, if they follow the interface, everyone gets along. We'll look at a
whole class of problems that can be solved creatively using "protocols". We
will also look at some popular (and successful) real-world interface
implementations.
Webhooks are the unix pipes of the web. Rack is greasing the rails as we speak.
How can you leverage the synergy of these ocean-boiling enterprise-ready
solutions? I have no idea. What we will try to figure out is how to make cool
stuff happen - and more importantly, enable other people to make cool happen on
top of your system.
