Justin Sheehy : REST as a business advantage

Great post by Justin Sheehy, a co-worker of mine at Basho , on how the virtues of REST aren't just wonky idealism - in fact, following RESTful principles can give your business a competitive advantage.

His post highlights the Jigsaw HTTP API, which was a joy to work with, compared to some of the clunkier SOAP APIs out there.

Meta - I'm starting this blog up again, and will be posting mostly about Erlang, Webmachine, the parts of Java that don't make me cry, distributed systems, startup life, and other fun stuff. It's good to be back!
