Acknowledgments
We are sincerely and humbly indebted to Roy T. Fielding for his PhD dissertation that described REST and created a radical shift in the way we envisioned the web and its core standards. Without his work on REST and the HTTP protocol, Restlet wouldn’t exist. We would also like to thank all Restlet Framework contributors, including past and present committers, as well as users submitting issues, helping with the documentation, and answering questions of other users.
Thanks to Jim Alateras, John D. Mitchell, and Steve Loughran for their help during the book’s inception phase, especially Guillaume Laforge who introduced us to Manning.
Our sincere thanks to the staff at Manning, including Marjan Bace, Michael Stephens, Mary Piergies, Maureen Spencer, Christina Rudloff, Corbin Collins, Elizabeth Martin, Ozren Harlovic, and Melody Dolab. Special thanks to our editor Jeff Bleiel for his patience and support during the book’s development phase.
