Comment on How I explained REST to my wife

Comments

I find that the people who are against REST, or don't understand why its neccessary, don't really understand the finer points of HTTP, either. This post really helps describe what it is about HTTP that makes REST obvious, and easy.

Rest is obvious and fairly easy. It solves a specific set of real-world problems.

On the other hand, that list of problems is a pretty small part of web application design. Solutions other than REST seem to work just as well.
