I have tons of bookmarks some very specific or redundant. I can share anyway

Meanwhile I read some articles on the web, but I need more knowledge about

While REST is mostly used in web apps, is not tied to it. It's possible to
use, for example in desktop applications


PS: in the last years i read a lot about REST just to learn that is not a
closed concept / interface. Is more an  architecture  style based in some
principles. So don't despair if you feel lost or if some "Restful way" of
doing things does not match what you need or do.
In my case i threw away all the HATEOAS stuff keeping the rules of using
nouns in resource identifiers, using HTTP verbs and return codes etc. If is
Restful or not i don't know and don't care. It works for me.
