How did the weekend go?

Saturday afternoon, I was able to make the AI Bot engine from a remote site talk to a UI from another site using cURL. But, I’m going to improve this to use AJAX instead. With the amount of information to fetch from the engine, cURL is an exaggeration. The AI’s response is often not more than two sentences.

I need REST (Representational state transfer)

Also the “rest” to take some time off, indeed. But I will really be dealing with REST because I’m working on Ning Social Networking platform and some part of our application needs the data from the old server, and apparently, Ning does not allow you to connect to an external Database.

Over the next few days, I’ll be a “ning” developer , actually I started playing around the code about a month ago. But taken away off some other projects (feature integration) on PhpFox.

And as always, I started from the index.php going thru all the include files.


define('NF_APP_BASE',dirname(__FILE__));
require_once NF_APP_BASE . '/lib/index.php';
?>

Then look for anything that says “request” which is basically the point of interaction, how it receives it and handles it. After that, I look for the database object, its methods. Until the haunt kept on going.
