These tutorials complement the theory lesson on RESTful web services with some practical examples.

The first tutorial follows the example provided in the previous lesson.

The second tutorial is based on the material presented by Dr. Jim Webber and Dr. Halvard Skogsrud at the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2008) and shows how to develop a simple RESTful web service from scratch. Try to code the example yourself!
