What is REST in SharePoint?
Representational State Transfer plus HTTP can be thought of as The Web itself
A client can either be in transition between application states or "at rest“, able to interact with its user, but creates no load and consumes no per-client storage
Fully-realized, it is oData (Open Data Protocol): REST + AtomPub + Modeling + URI Semantics

What does it look like?
It looks like RSS feeds, which is just XML!!
Try this yourself: http://odata.netflix.com/Catalog/Titles?$ top=1

So how do we access it?
For SharePoint 2010, we change our URL’s to access the always-on service
