The article is claiming that we are removing from resources (http, rest) to events, ie apps, for everything. I do think there is still space for the other style done well, with content, but a lot of people seem not to. One of the facets of the web/app war.

If that's the case (and I don't think that's really what he said), it would be a foolish claim. Resources are fundamental to the human experience. On the web most things are just data, but if that data has value to anyone, it's a resource.

Events are fundamental too, and I'm quite happy that the web seems to be evolving to handle them as well.. But resources will always exist, and any 'event' that has enough data for an engine to be interested in indexing it is carrying a resource.
