I still don't get it. There have been several things I never got or rather they were so obvious / intuitive to me there was nothing for me to "get". Still I spent years thinking I missed something cause so many others had such problems with them. Pointers & recursion come to mind.
There just doesn't seem that much to REST (that's not a bad thing). Lot's of hype, fud, misunderstanding built up around REST. Arguments over the proper way to apply REST to HTTP/Web. But, REST itself seems sort of duh, how else would you do it?

They coined the term "Resource Oriented Architecture" to describe a specific REST design implementation and to side-step a religious war on what is and is not REST.
