Actually, it was basically 2-Legged OAuth 1. I was shaking my head all the way through the article, having gone through the same process about a year and a half ago.
When I need to learn about a wheel, I usually attempt to re-invent it. But in practice (production), I tend to choose a wheel that someone else has already spent years making perfectly round.
What is learned from re-inventing definitely provides unique insight into how the better wheels are actually spinning and ultimately helps us make better use of it.

Do you have any recommended tutorials/walkthroughs for building a REST API?
