Short Description:
Part of a series of hack events spread throughout time and space (well, multiple hack events in different cities around the world), the London event was held at Bloomsberg's fabulous offices on the weekend of April 27-28. Great organization ensured that no-one was short of food, drink, power, WiFi or indeed advise for the whole weekend (I think this is the first hack I have attended where there were no network problems !!).

Our friends at eCollege have put together a tutorial for those interested in using and designing RESTtful APIs:
http://www.restapitutorial.com/
It's a good read and cetainly saves a lot of time trawlling the internet to give a concise view on this topic. The project is hosted on GitHub so you can fork and make it your own if you desire.
Nice work Todd :)

I'm thrilled to let everyone know that we've just added about 600 more recipes to the Kitchen Manager.
Many of the recipes come from the wonderful "On Baking" textbook (3rd edition).
We've also added some more pictures and hope to add more recipes and pictures as they become available.

There was an interesting post on the O'Reilly Radar site about how 2012 (and the next decade) will see the rise of APIs.
If you have a moment it'd be worth taking a look, especially if you're hopping to start producing APIs in your own organisation.
My favourite two, for obvious reasons, are:
Data APIs becoming more common & Mobile optimised APIs

We had a couple of requests for a feature in the dictionary to suggest that may have been misspelled and we've just deployed this feature to the sandbox.
Currently I've added a suggestion feature to the search API which will automatically suggest words if it can't find a match for the query string put in.

During the OverTheAir event we gave a prize to Alistair MacDonald, for his great API which makes it easy to get hold of your goelocation as a postcode.
It uses the browser built in support to find the browsers position and then calls a backend service to convert this into a postcode, simple yet effective and very useful.
Goto http://www.agm.me.uk/thispostcode/ then you can try the service yourself and let Alistair know what you think.
