There's two kinds of REST. REST as most developers misunderstand it, and REST as Roy Fielding, inventor of REST, understands it. For the former you can read the Microsoft REST guidelines, for the latter I suggest getting Mike Amundsen's RESTful Web APIs book. If you do go with the latter be prepared for a lot of frustration with those who went with the former.

Can you explain what is wrong with most people's implementation of rest?
