RESTful Web Services | O’reilly | Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby

“Every developer working with the Web needs to read this book.”– David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of the Rails framework

“RESTful Web Services finally provides a practical roadmap for constructing services that embrace the Web, instead of trying to route around it.”– Adam Trachtenberg, PHP author and EBay Web Services Evangelist

You’ve built web sites that can be used by humans. But can you also build web sites that are usable by machines? That’s where the future lies, and that’s what RESTful Web Services shows you how to do. The World Wide Web is the most popular distributed application in history, and Web services and mashups have turned it into a powerful distributed computing platform. But today’s web service technologies have lost sight of the simplicity that made the Web successful. They don’t work like the Web, and they’re missing out on its advantages.

This book puts the “Web” back into web services. It shows how you can connect to the programmable web with the technologies you already use every day. The key is REST, the architectural style that drives the Web. This book:

Emphasizes the power of basic Web technologies — the HTTP application protocol, the URI naming standard, and the XML markup language
Introduces the Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), a common-sense set of rules for designing RESTful web services
Shows how a RESTful design is simpler, more versatile, and more scalable than a design based on Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
Includes real-world examples of RESTful web services, like Amazon’s Simple Storage Service and the Atom Publishing Protocol
Discusses web service clients for popular programming languages
Shows how to implement RESTful services in three popular frameworks — Ruby on Rails, Restlet (for Java), and Django (for Python)

Focuses on practical issues: how to design and implement RESTful web services and clients
This is the first book that applies the REST design philosophy to real web services. It sets down the best practices you need to make your design a success, and the techniques you need to turn your design into working code. You can harness the power of the Web for programmable applications: you just have to work with the Web instead of against it. This book shows you how.

101 helpful hints for IELTS

101 Helpful Hints for IELTS: Practice Tests and Hints for IELTS: Academic Module Book by G. Adams (Author), T. Peck (Author), H. Piotrowski

In my opinion this is one of the first books – if not the very first one – that anybody who would like to know if he should sit for IELTS should consult. This is the book that tells you, in no uncertain terms, what would like to know about this Testing system as completely as possible.These hints are divided into two main sections. The first one contains what the authors call the basic hints. These are, sombdivided into three parts: a) those hints regarding what a student should know before the test b) what he needs to know during the test c) the section they call Check Before the End of the Test

Once he has studied thes hints, the student should have a very clear idea of how to tackle this test. The next type of hints are divided – like the test itself – into four and will tell him what he should know in order to tackle IELTS. In them he will find practical tests in Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing – the four disciplines that he will be tested in during the test proper.

The Answer-Key and the model answers will also enable him to assess his ability now and giv him an idea of how much work is required of him before he decides to take IELTS.
