Starting off day 2 here in Denver. We’ve (mostly) finished breakfast and I’m about to watch @Hal Gumbert talk about Xanadu with Aloe before presenting myself.
I’ll be distracted a bit this morning so hopefully others will post some updates.

I’m about to see Dirk Cleenwerck and Gino Deblauwe speak about implementing a REST api with the web framework.
Gino is covering multiple ways to authenticate a user for your REST API. Currently discussing the fundamentals of OAuth.
Everyone should look at Xanadu with Aloe. This is wicked cool in ways I can’t describe here.
Dirk says that they build all their REST APIs on top of Aloe. REALLY wish I could be in both sessions at once.
Thankfully they’re recording sessions for later review.
Gino is doing a live demo of setting up a REST api server starting with a completely blank Ubuntu instance.
Protip: Let’sEncrypt can be used for free SSL certificates that auto-renew. Painless high-grade security for your webserver.
Really wish I was able to install and configure a full apache, and postres server in real time like Gino with full SSL and API!
Think anyone would notice if I attended @Chris Halford 's session on Practical Color Management instead of my own? Tempted to find out, because I really want to.
Thank goodness for the video.
If anyone is interested in getting another shirt or bag - stop by and see us at the registration desk!
Gino used Paw to test his newly-configured REST server. I can also recommend Rested for testing REST API endpoints from OS X - it’s free, and pretty full-featured.
We use Postman, another nice option.
I used to use Postman, back when it was essentially a plugin for Chrome. It looks to have matured quite a bit since then.
Kem is getting started discussing encrypting data in your database.
Postgres ?
Yes. Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. Does not encrypt the entire database - rather can do encryption at the field level.
Performance ?
The things Gino did to set it up will be in the conference documentation that will be made available.
