Useful reference guide

As a beginner, this was a good reference to read thru first before diving in. I will still need another how-to guide, but this definitely gave me some background. Thanks!

Great book for beginners with REST API

I really liked this book. Although it is just a short book, it almost covers essential knowledge for a person with a little knowledge about website. At the heart of this book is easy-to-understanding illustrative pictures.

Great introduction to the topic

Nice and succinct, good appendix. It even has some examples which are nice in such a short book. It has enough breadth to give a solid foundation without getting bogged down in details.
