Christian Gross, author of Ajax
Patterns and Best Practices, was talking about REST during his book promotion.
He said that Ajax in combination with REST is the SOA killer application.
Moreover, I've read that 85% of Amazon's WebServices usage was via REST interfaces.
That REST is starting to make my ears ring
I've never used it yet, but I'd like to try and see what it really does.
Do you think that playing with Atom protocol would be a good introduction to REST ?
Chapter 10 in your book, about Atom, is only 20 pages.
Do you think this is enough to discuss such a new topic ? (it sounds new to me at least)
And could you tell us which examples of your book are using Atom ?
Thank you.
