 ROA : the SOA alternative December 28, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
this book is very very very interesting for any professional IT (IT architect like me) which work in the Web technologies. it is well written and is very well argumented.
it presents us a new alternative to actual SOAP technologies which permit us to the SOA enablement. Now xOA has two architectural style : SOA (with SOAP) and ROA (with REST design principles)
this book has reveal me the true power of HTTP (and the fact that it is currently underused) and of RESTful Web Services.
I think that now i have a real alternative in my IT (RPC style) solutions.
Try and learn it quickly to be innovative in your IT solution design.
Definetively, a must have in your IT library

Excellent coverage of REST and of fundamental ROA (and even SOA) concepts. Comprehensive examples and case studies of real world major sites. Extremely readable. The book's style practices what REST preaches: simplicity is genius.
Std reference on RESTful design November 3, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Good value. Excellent reference and tutorial on REST. The links to helpful URLs in the back are worthwhile by themselves. Most of the examples are in the Ruby programming language and the Ruby on Rails web application framework, but Python and Java (Restlet) are also used for examples.
Alternative to SOAP Web Services October 28, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
With all the buzz around SOA, most of us have not looked at alternatives to SOAP Web Services. Most of my background and training has focused on SOAP-based Web Services and hadn't spend much time looking at alternatives such as REST-based Web Services RESTful Web Services. In order to get up to speed quickly on RESTful Web Services I bought this book through Amazon.ca.
While a lot of the emphasis of this book is around the "Programmable Web", it does provide a great overview of REST Web Services.
I recommend this book if you want to get up to speed quickly on RESTful Web Services.
