One of the many things I do, on pretty much a weekly basis, is answering questions about REST and HTTP. Is this status code correct for X, should I use POST or PUT, is this hateoas enough, how do i handle logins in a RESTful API etc, etc… This is why I decided to setup a simple website, that pretty much tries to answer any question about REST. It’s not completed yet.. Actually, it hasn’t got many posts to begin with :), but a start has been made and we will fill it with questions and answers about REST and HTTP issues.
The site restcookbook.com, is an opensource website generated through Jekyll, a simple blog generator, so contributing is simply creating a new page (with a question and answer). The more people will contribute, the more we can use the site as the “ultimate” REST resource.
I am too lazy to go through the (5!) steps required to contribute, but would love to see an actual conversation on HATEOAS implementation; everyone loves to talk about what-it-is, but no one has provided concrete concepts as to implementation details.
