Thoughts on “REST” and what that really means
There have been a few posts around the blogosphere this week about the meaning of “REST” web services and what it all means. Our corporate perspective at Sonoa is that we are happy to support all kinds of web services, but we see real advantages to following “REST” principles. I personally have seen examples, like the Twitter API, that clearly show how easy it can be for people to take advantage of an API when it’s built following the REST principles.
I’ve written some blogs on the Sonoa blog about this which will be appearing this week. Take a look!
