Astoria podcast - Jon Udell interviews Pablo Castro

Here's something I've been looking forward to for a while - Jon Udell interviewing Pablo Castro on the topic of Astoria.

Nor am I yet familiar with the tooling that’s required to wrap this kind of services layer around a plain data source. But I’m 100% clear that it’s a good idea, and a great example of RESTful web services — a book that Pablo Castro says is “required reading” for members of the Astoria team."

If you like the sound of Astoria keep an eye on Pablo's blog.
