The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of REST APIs

Adrian Cole of jclouds and I have written a lot of code against a variety of SOAP and REST cloud computing APIs. We've seen a lot of the good, the bad, and the ugly in API design and we tend to complain to each other about the things we dislike. This article sums up my thinking on the subject (not necessarily Adrian's, though Adrian reviewed the document and gave me additional ideas). viaThe Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of REST APIs - O'Reilly Broadcast.
