‘REST Web Services’ by Leonard Richardson and Sam Ruby ★

Oh, this is going to be a good book:

This is the book that puts the “web” back into “web services”. You can design a web service that uses HTTP, XHTML, and URIs. You just need to understand REST, the architecture of the web. REST Web Services gives you the tools you need to argue for sensible web services, and the strategies and code you need to create them.

No, I take it back. This is going to be a great book.
