This is the best tutorial I have read on developing RESTful web apps using Rails. If you’re remotely interested or curious about REST on Rails I highly recommend that as one of your first reads.

I have been messing around with REST and managed to piece together a basic app without much trouble. That tutorial really cleared up some things I wasn’t too sure about, especially with respect to routing resources.

Check out the restful_authentication plugin to see how a session becomes a resource.

For many cases I can definitely see the benefits of REST and for the exceptions you just use Rails in the traditional way.
