... Coming late to this thread and maybe OT, but reading this, I thought that a fundamental problem with REST is how to get the paradigm shift (and the ...

... A uniform API actually is an OO pattern - it's called 'interface' in Java. Examples are Collection, List, Map, Iterator, etc. REST is a set of design...
... Yes...since I think a design pattern can be seens as a constraint on design (reducing the number of possible design decisions). This is close enough to...
I had a discussion with some people at work today about RPC and REST (starting from my premise that RPC systems are always rubbish). In the context of this...
