So Ryan Tomayko's conversions with his wife are akin in tone and style to a language textbook aimed at tweens?

Better than the equivalent conversation in our house.

Me: Hey, do you want to learn about a core principle of how the Web works? ;; Her: Huh? ;; Me: You know, the thing Facebook runs on. ;; Her: Oh right. No then.

It's lucky there are more interesting things than technology for us to talk about, thankfully! :-)

I had that thought, too.

I don't think that exact conversation actually took place. My girlfriend would give me hell if I talked to her like that, I'm pretty certain.

As for the explanation, I like it. It puts into words what I had been intuitively thinking about the benefits of a RESTful API.
