- stevejalim 15y agoWhoops, sorry!
- danellis 15y agoWhy should that particular book be the bible? I haven't read it, but I've flicked through it and seeing things like the suggestion that clients should "construct" URLs made me doubt its worth. Shouldn't Fielding's original thesis be the bible?
- stevejalim 15y agoOk, maybe bible was used to loosely. In my experience, I found it a well written, well balanced, useful primer for real-world development of RESTful web services that also has enough depth to make it a reference I've returned to since. That's better.
