Integrating Web Apps
summary
Argues for small focused services and shows concrete plumbing: a Sinatra POST /documents endpoint stores uploads and a command‑line RestClient multipart upload actually creates records, a DataMapper example builds a DataMapper adapter with four CRUD methods (author runs ~41 specs against it) to treat Salesforce like a local repo, a mechanize/openstruct scraper wrapped with tests survives site changes, and RDF tooling ties into RDF + DBpedia linked‑data lookup so useful data appears without custom APIs.
