CRUD is not REST - Hypermedia for Y'All!
summary
Claims that CRUD-to-HTTP is inadequate and that hypermedia as the engine of application state is the crucial REST piece; demonstrates a small distributed beer-ordering system called Burp built with Rails, Sinatra and the Roar gem showing a client that uses a single-entry URL and extracts links from representations so no URL computation is needed. Examples show creating, adding and deleting items via embedded links and the workflow actually works end-to-end.
