Looking at REST

I am currently wrestling to understand designing solutions based on REST architectural style. I started looking at REST quite some time back when I was evaluating SOAP based Web Services, but couldn’t really get a hang of it earlier. Now I guess I am beginning to understand it much better or at least I would like to believe so…

I suggest the following articles for someone who is grappling to understand REST like me:

A very good introduction by Stefan Tilkov. This article really opened by eyes.

A brief introduction to REST

A video presentation, again by Stefan Tilkov. Very nice.

A Pragmatic Introduction to the Web’s Architecture

A simple example application based on REST

How to GET a cup of coffee

For the sceptics

Addressing doubts about REST

After all this , I still feel I have a long way to go.  However, I will not rest until I get it right. Will post more as I get deeper…
