Architecture, Protocols, and Standards

The Internet works as it was designed. Occasionally new uses, new technologies, and new scenarios confound those designs and force us to evolve. Fortunately, the architecture allows this quite easily, but where and how to effect change is not always obvious.

For those who wish “Full Stack Engineering” to be a more accurate view of their background than simply developing front AND back end systems, this talk will be a comprehensive and illuminating discussion about how the designs of the 1960s have evolved as an architecture and updated collection of protocols and standards.
