That's good, I needed a REST

My copy of RESTful Web Services has turned up. Nothing terribly exciting in Chapters 1 and my skim of chapters 2 and 3 but I wasn't joined at the hip with SOAP so I didn't need much persuading. I've skipped ahead to Chapter 4 where we start talking about Resource Oriented Architectures. I've played with REST based Rails apps a couple of times and, when I had quite a simple structure ( e.g. weblog -> articles ) it all seemed to make sense. In my last project the relationships were more complex and had more activities and it all became a little more jumbled. I'm hoping Richardson and Ruby and clear it up for me and present some useful guidelines for designing complex resource-oriented applications.
