Decent introduction to REST and PHP, Nov 16 2008
By Abhi ":-)abhi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Restful PHP Web Services (Paperback)
The book is a good introduction to PHP web services, cURL and DOM. It goes into details of building a web service from scratch. That is good for understanding, but I would much rather use a framework from WSO2 or Zend.
Book has a lot of examples. Though the examples have a few problems
1. Very basic sample programs for RESTful server.
2. A lot of code is printed, but with very little explanation.
3. Code explanation does not offer more than what you would get by reading the code itself. No options or pitfalls are described.
4. Printed code formatting is awful. Statements wrap around, instead of line breaks and indentation. Random words are highlighted. Bold words have no connection to the concept being explained. For example, frequently (but not always) functions have plain "return;" highlighted.
All that makes the book hard to read.
Before buying the book, check websites for WSO2, Zend, Flickr and Yahoo. They have good documentation and tutorials.

A Rather Complete Exposure of Restful Design with PHP, April 30 2010
By Brian L. Donat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Restful PHP Web Services (Paperback)
The book is a good exposure to RESTful architecture concepts. The author introduces points of personal bias in his prose, but the objectives are clearly presented. It's a brief exposure and can be a quick read. And of course, it is specific to PHP, while mentioning in passing, other languages applicability to REST. This book is a good starting place for those who wish to learn about REST, before tackling REST in other contexts.

The right blend of concepts with examples, Mar 8 2010
By R. Peller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Restful PHP Web Services (Paperback)
This book does a great job of rapidly exposing the user to RESTFul design patterns while at the same time providing many great examples for reference. By the end of the book, even a novice programmer will be comfortable with RESTFul web service design. You do need experience with PHP to work through the samples.
