Foreword by:
Stefan Tilkov

The World Wide Web is based on the most successful technology architecture in the history of IT. It has changed how we view, access, and exchange information and, with the formalization of REST constraints, it has also provided us with compelling ways to build and improve automation solutions.

How you wield the power that comes with the inherent flexibility and simplicity of REST is up to you. REST provides a great deal of guidance to ensure that an architecture and its automation logic are technically sound, but the responsibility of ensuring that what you build actually provides value to the business is yours.

Service-orientation has established a proven method for realizing a specific target state that has proven strategic value to many organizations. Achieving this target state requires that we apply service-orientation to a suitable distributed computing medium. This book demonstrates that REST is not only a suitable medium for building truly service-oriented solutions, but also that the service-oriented architectural model is a suitable (and often necessary) foundation for REST technology architectures to realize their full business potential.
