　　《RESTfulWebServices》是对真实WebService运用REST设计哲学的第一本书。它为你的成功设计树立了最佳实践典范，也为你提供了将设计转化为代码所需的技术。你不妨充分利用可编程Web的力量只要与Web合作而不是与之抵抗。本书将教会你一切。　　你也许曾经建立过可供他人使用的网站，但是，你能否创建可供机器使用的网站?万维网(WorldwideWeb)不仅仅只是一个巨大的分布式应用应该把它视为一个分布式计算平台。WebService、聚合(mashup)和Ajax应用都以Web作为平台。而今天的WebService技术早已失去了Web赖以成功的简洁性，它们并不像Web那样工作，并且正日益丧失其原有的优势。本书让“Web”回归WebService。它阐述了如何以你日常所使用的技术访问可编程的Web。其关键就在于REST，它是驱动Web的架构样式。
