Just thought I’d quickly mention some good resources for learning the REST paradigm (having now moved on from SOAP web services.  These are basically resources I wish I had found on day 1.

The following is bearing in mind you are using the Restlet framework.

Again, a total lack of any decent, comprehensible tutorial material on the net, but I did unearth a gem from IBM’s website (you do have to register to download the doc, but it is free):

Build a RESTful Web service – An introduction to REST and the Restlet framework by Andrew Glover.

Also to back up your knowledge and to help you understand the above tutorial, I would suggest reading:

RESTful Web Services by Leornard Richardson and Sam Ruby from O’Reilly.

Enjoy!

PS – Hope to publish my findings on a making my first RESTful web service that writes into a database.
