The pervasiveness of the open web is taking hold in governments around the world. Data is migrating to the cloud, being opened up to developer innovation, and governments are capitalizing on this trend. The federal government launched the data.gov site to

We've recently added a new set of objects to our statically-typed-language SDKs (.Net, Silverlight and Java). These objects are a set of typed collections, aimed at making your client code easier to write and clearer to understand.

In .NET:
RibbitCollectionResponse users = new RibbitUser().getUsers();
UserResource user = (UserResource)users.Results[0];
