I’d like to thank Dr. Jim Webber of ThoughtWorks for graciously volunteering to critique a few chapters from my upcoming Service Design Patterns book. Jim is an authority on the practical application of REST. Thanks Jim, your feedback was awesome!!!!btw: Jim has a book titled REST in Practice coming out sometime this year. In addition to RESTful Web Services, this book looks like it will be a "must-have" for those who embrace REST.
