addPattern(pattern="/api/:format/", constraints={format="(xml|json)"})

Last night I had the honor to share the stage with 8 other amazing developers to do a Pecha Kucha style presentation.  It was a ton of fun and I encourage anyone who has a chance to present in this style to take it.  It a unique style of presenting.  20 slides, 20 seconds per slide...What would you say?

I spoke on MockBox.  Here are my slides if your interested.

Mocking, Its not just for picking on people-slides
