REST and RESTful - videos or pod casts

Question

Hi

I am looking for podcast or videos on REST and RESTful.

Ideally they should cover the basics & the more advanced topics

Answer 1

For basics, this is a good one : Understanding REST

There are some MIX sessions which you can find by searching for REST but most of them are based on WCF or Data Services.

Thoughtworks has a podcast on REST as well which can you get from here..

Answer 2

If you interested in using REST with WCF and .NET I would recommend Endpoint.TV

Answer 3

It's short and very basic, but check out Intro to REST from the GoogleDeveloper channel.

For podcasts, check out the ThoughtWorks IT Matter podcasts REST - Part 1 of 2 and REST - Part 2 of 2 (audio links broken; summaries are still here) where Martin Fowler, Chris Stevenson, Jim Webber, and Sriram Narayan talk about REST.

Also, there's the "Stefan Tilkov on REST", and maybe the "Web Services with Olaf Zimmermann" episodes from Software Engineering radio.

There might be something for you on the RestWiki and the REST wikipedia article has lots of links to follow for more material.

Answer 4

This is quite interesting article. I am afraid it is not a video or podcast, but thought it can be useful.

How I Explained REST to My Wife

Answer 5

Here is one from Stefan Tilkov and another from Alan Dean

Answer 6

Two other articles from infoq: 1. A Brief Introduction to REST 2. REST Anti-Patterns

Answer 7

Just read Fielding's dissertation and his blog. His blog clears up some common misconceptions of REST. Beware of other information on REST that does not use authoritative sources - there's a load of misinformation out there.

Answer 8

Hi there is a nice video on how to use REST in Delphi aplplications by Jonathan Benedicto

DataSnap REST Support for Web Applications This presentation covers how to use the new DataSnap REST support for Web applications.

here is a link to a video by Marco Cantù that has some nice delphi examples of rest clients

10 Rest Clients in Delphi From Google to Amazon, from Microsoft to Yahoo, from Facebook to Twitter, most large Web sites offer a REST API and Delphi can easily query all of them. This session provides an overview of 10 REST client APIs showing how to integrate database data and Web applications. Creating Windows 7 applications in Delphi, since Delphi 2007, there has been improved support for new features of the Windows operating system, from Windows Vista to Windows 7. In this session, we explore some of the native features of the VCL and some extra APIs you can use.

Both these video come from the code rage 4
