Wakanda REST Data Services

by Christophe Keromen on Sep 23, 2009 in Lab

The pattern ‘rest’ can be edited in the Data Services settings.

In this post we’ll introduce some interesting features of Data Services and give some examples of the use of the Query By Entity language used in our REST queries. Read the rest of this entry »

How does it work?

by Wakanda Team on Sep 14, 2009 in Architecture

It’s always easy for our engineers to talk about what’s under the hood in Wakanda. After all, they’re passionate about what they’re working on and can go on and on about every part – something you’ll see more of as the project comes along.

In the meantime, let’s take a step back to look at Wakanda from a wider angle. After all, if we’re claiming to bring you a new paradigm, we’d better be able to explain it! Read the rest of this entry »
