You can youtube a tutorial on the subject and get a basic idea pretty quickly. To get the general idea, you don't need an entire book explaining it to you.Likewise, the theory behind REST being stateless and so fourth... you can get that from a simple youtube video.What you DO need a book for is all these little details for how to design your API to follow best practices.That is precisely what this book provides.So I would recommend this as a first book for REST, combined with watching a few youtube videos. Afterwards I don't think you need any other books on REST. All the details you could ask for are here, and the rest is obvious.It's a bit strange to call this a cookbook. It's more like... a series of problem-solution explanations with some example code. I suppose you can use the code, but the great value of this book comes from the concepts taught. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to get up to speed quick on RESTful *by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2010* I have not made it through the whole book, but my first impressions are really good. One of the interfaces we were designing for work is to time consuming to wait for a http response, in the first chapter of this book it gives you the way to do Asynchronous requests correctly with rest.There is also some good information on presenting resources that are not nouns, nouns are easy right you have a collection of people for example, you want to list all the people and do CRUD operations on a particular person. This to me is classical rest and is strait forward to do, but what about verbs (not in the POST, DELETE http sense) but in the give me driving directions sense. The book covers this and actually uses driving directions as it's example.There are a couple of issues I'm still trying to find covered in the book, like how to do pagination on a collection of resources correctly. There is at least one recipe on this, but I did not see how to indicate a default page size (ie I requested all user accounts, but only returned first 200 dues to size, how does the client know that 200 were returned)The other thing is the proper way to use http get parameters in search and other limiting operations. It would be nice to have some basic recipes there, but to be fair I might just not have seen them yet.All in all it's a nice addition to your technical library. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique Book on HTTP/XML/REST *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016* A unique book, and not what I expected. Not like any other book on any subject that I have come across. Goes through problems and describes solutions one by one. A different but very powerful teaching style. Does a great job describing *exactly* why you want to follow the very best industry practices established for HTTP/XML. Also works as a good reference to look up selected subjects.If you are looking for a book on how to use Python or Java or similar to create a REST web server, this is *not* the book for you. If you are heavy into JSON, look elsewhere, this book is XML-centric. If you are trying to understand HTTP/XML from first principles, and build the very best REST platform you can, you have come to the right place. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4257044-restful-web-services-cookbook-solutions-for-improving-scalability-and-simplicity](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4257044-restful-web-services-cookbook-solutions-for-improving-scalability-and-simplicity) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
