The REST And Then Some
summary
Rest methods don't map cleanly to CRUD and PUT means replace or create not update, so the talk demonstrates use of JSON Patch for partial updates and explains why clients should discover URLs from responses rather than hardcode them or bake version numbers into URIs. A toaster state machine concretely shows hypermedia driving application state with resource representations holding links and operations that change from off to heating to idle and back, proving you can add new affordances without breaking existing clients and treating the URI as an opaque identifier rather than an RPC path.
