More REST

If you've followed Web 2.0 at all, you've at least heard of REST. In the wake of emerging concerns about the thickness of SOA, there's been some very interesting discussions of REST. Here's three:

• Dion Hinchcliffe's Twelve Things You Need to Know about REST and WOA. Highly recommended (as with all things by Dion). Dion references Stefan Tilkov's observations, which I think are significant enough to spike out explicitly here.
• Stefan Tilkov's Brief Introduction to REST.
• And Stefan's Addressing Doubts about REST.

This is not fast/easy reading, but these concepts address a fundamental issue of the structure of information.
