Why Rest?
what's Rest?
Rpc relates to REST
as
Soap relates to ???
Hypermedia Control

The links tell me where I can go, and will only point to valid transitions
the "works for me" protocol
Uniform Interface:

everything comes back with a content-type that maps to an application type
everything has a "links" collection (if there are any valid ones)
well known entry points to the application

root: "/" (definitley)
Maybe some other ones: eg: "/blogs/{id}"
application/json

json is awesome, and that's what you'll get back,
...alternately you can use xml...
I dont use HTTP/PUTS cause they make my head hurt

Posts can save or update...I'm just going to leave it
at that and not make my consumers guess
Let's create a blog service!
