I believe that this book should be required reading for anyone who works on anything related to the Web. For the first time, this book makes a clear how using the simple built-in technology of the web, web sites can be both human and machine readable. And that most of the agony of convoluted API's are completely unnecessary. Thanks to the writers for taking the brilliance of Roy Thomas Fielding's original dissertation and creating an insightful and approachable book with concrete examples.

"Every IT generation has its seminal tome that transcends time and connects the dots in a way that no book had before it...RESTful Web Services will be, in my opinion, that book for the 2000s Web services generation."
