RESTlinks

Stefan Tilkov, Mar 19, 2007

I’ve collected lots of somewhat REST-connected posts in the last two weeks, but somehow can’t seem to find the time to comment … so here’s a quick linkdump:

Verbs and Interaction patterns, Benjamin Carlyle, including some interesting thoughts on a gateway approach between WS-* and REST
Mark Nottingham on REST issues, real and imagined — good points, especially regarding URI design. Interesting followups from Don Box and Mark Baker, more followups from Sam Ruby and Don again,
You are already doing REST, Benjamin Carlyle again — I’m not sure I agree REST architectures are simpler, in fact I believe “REST is easy” is the wrong sales pitch in the long run; other than that, another great post
Lots and lots of posts on the human-vs.-machine argument: from Sanjiva, Mark Baker, Don Box
Finally! A ROA maturity model! Hilarious stuff from Pete Lacey again.
Mark Baker celebrates 7 years of WS-* bashing. Congratulations!
Google has announced WADL tools (via Marc Hadley). Wow.
Steve Maine comments Elliotte Rusty Harold’s PUT vs. Update article.
The REST Triangular Pyramid, Carlyle again, you know you should be subscribed already, right?
“acts_as_resource lets you handle nested resource controllers neatly without having to modify every single call to a named route to include the full list of resources used to reach the target resource”: A cool Rails plugin from Piers Cawley
