"I need to learn how to create a REST API, but I don't have a lot of time to do research and I don't know what information I can trust. ...And I've never done this before."
What you need is someone that can explain complex things simply, that knows this material better than Yukon Cornelius knows gold, and that has been in your shoes a thousand times before.
What you need is this eBook.
Learning is fun, but mining for that nugget of gold in a mountain of documentation is almost never an efficient way to get your job done. And you don't need to be able to rewrite Roy Fielding's REST Dissertation from memory, you just need to publish an API. So let's dispense with the academia and get on with the real work.
Adam Tuttle has been playing on the web since 1998 and developing professionally since 2000. He has been writing and speaking on REST Web APIs since 2010. He has written countless REST Web APIs and consumers, and now he has literally written The Book on them.
This is not a book about ColdFusion or Taffy, but they are the medium with which we'll paint fluffy clouds and happy trees together that even Bob Ross would be proud of.
