REST for wives

There’s nothing like a story to explain technical concepts. The beauty of the web stack is that all the elements are really quite simple to understand if they’re explained properly. A machine talking to another machine is mostly like some really rigid and dumb human talking to another really rigid and dumb human.

In this case, it’s Ryan Tomayko doing a nice job of explaining REST to his wife. This helps explain the big picure of all this RESTfulness. (Via Wikipedia, via Scott Raymond, via Riding Rails)
