RESTful Web Services Cookbook
Subbu Allamaraju is an eBay platform architect. He has worked significantly on REST and HTTP since 2007, and he has put his experiences and learnings in the RESTful Web Services Cookbook. Prior to joining eBay, he was a platform architect at Yahoo!, where he was responsible for the adoption of HTTP and REST for web services, as well as Yahoosocial !'s and cloud platforms.

While the REST design philosophy has piqued the interest of web and enterprise developers alike, implementing this technique to construct real online services is not without challenges. RESTful Web Services Cookbook contains over 100 recipes to help you take use of REST, HTTP, and the Web infrastructure. You'll discover how to create RESTful web services for client and server applications that fulfill performance, scalability, dependability, and security objectives regardless of programming language or development environment.
Each recipe has one or two issue statements, as well as step-by-step directions for addressing them, as well as demonstrations using HTTP requests and answers, as well as XML, JSON, and Atom snippets. You'll also get implementation recommendations and a breakdown of the benefits, drawbacks, and trade-offs associated with each solution.
