A very insightful and good set of articles. Thank you
A suggestion - could you add some support for sharing on your BLOG (eg. DIGG / Twitter / Facebook)?

Hello Divya,

Done. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for this concise and informative tutorial.
I like the fact that simplicity (KISS) is becoming a major paradigm in IT: REST, POJOs, Google's services, latest iterations of operating systems...

Thanks for the great little "walk-through" of what REST is all about.

Hi Doc, That was a nice place for me to start with ReST. I've been searching net for the exact 'meaning' of this stuff. Now you have explained it in pretty simple manner. I have a small suggestion. In the example section you have mentioned only about how to make ReST requests. As you have explained earlier a simple URL in a browser can also be a request. The samples are just to make them programaticaly. What i would really like to understand is that how am i going to host a ReSTful service. Normal WS would end up in SOAP and other stuff. Do i need to have my own Http handlers and/or Http Modules for this? Can you please throw some light on this?

Hello James,

Indeed, I have written little about the server-side part of REST, seeing that it is no different than "regular" web serving (except that the output is to be consumed by machines, not people). I see now that more and more people ask for this extension, and I plan to write about it in the (hopefully near) future.

Dr. Elkstein,

It was a pleasure to read your tutorial. Just enough content to get a very solid handle on the concepts without being over inundated with specific implementation details.
