RESTful Web Services Cookbook

REST-based web services are often described as simpler, more flexible, and easier to scale than older approaches, yet the underlying architecture still needs careful explanation. This practical guide is organized as a collection of recipes, more than fifty in all, each addressing a specific problem developers commonly meet when building services that follow REST principles. The approach is hands-on, moving from concept to working solution so that readers can apply the ideas directly to their own projects.
