The book
If you’ve watched any of my recent talks, one book you may have heard me mention quite a bit is “REST In Practice” by Jim Webber, Savas Parastatidas and Ian Robinson. The thing I really like about this book that differentiates it from others on REST is that it broaches the concept of REST in the enterprise. This book is essential for those building RESTful business systems. It’s a book that has helped my own understanding tremendously and one that I find practically by my bedside. It covers topics that are of concern for folks taking business systems and moving them to a RESTFul architecture style. It also gradually takes people across the chasm from traditional RPC style services, to HTTP CRUD services and then finally to RESTful services.
