Welcome to the rest-fundamentals wiki!

REST is an overloaded, and thus misunderstood term in architectural circles these days. This tutorial attempts to clear up some of the misunderstandings about REST as well as provide a more practical approach for designing RESTful solutions - both clients and services. Additionally, the course looks at REST from the perspective of the cloud and describes how REST is well-suited to meet the demands that the cloud brings to bear on a modern architecture.

1. Introduction
2. Deriving REST: Constraints
3. Elements of RESTful Architecture
