The slides from the day-long tutorial, REST in Practice, that Jim Webber and I gave at QCon San Francisco can be found here.
Also as part of QCon, I gave a talk, Beginning an SOA Initiative, the slides of which can be downloaded here.
Jim and I will be giving the REST tutorial at QCon London next year. We’re already planning plenty of changes so as to make it a little more hands-on and practical.

Hi,
What book/tool would you recommend for capability mapping?
cheers

Hi Georgi
The tool I’ve used in the past for capturing and structuring stories and capabilities is ThoughtWorks’s Mingle (note: I work for ThoughtWorks).
As for reading:
Articles
The Next Revolution in Productivity by Ric Merrifield, Jack Calhoun, Dennis Stevens. Ric Merrifield and Jack Calhoun, amongst others, contributed to Microsoft’s Motion (now MSBA), a capability modelling technique. (You may have to pay for this article.)
A Business-Oriented Foundation for Service Orientation by Ulrich Homann
Transforming Business Architecture by Chip Wilson
Service-Oriented Modeling for Connected Systems by Arvindra Sehmi and Beat Schwegler
Enterprise Architecture as Business Capabilities Architecture by Dana Bredemeyer, Ruth Malan, Raj Krishnan and Aaron Lafrenz
Conceptual Framework for Modeling Business Capabilities by J. Brits, G.H.K. Botha, M. Herselman
Books
Rethink: A Business Manifesto for Cutting Costs and Boosting Innovation by Ric Merrifield
Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution by Michael Hammer, James Champy. As I understand things, this old reengineering text laid the foundations for much of Ric Merrifield and Jack Calhoun’s work. If you read it with an eye for capabilities, you’ll quickly distinguish between processes as capabilities and processes as contingent implementations of capabilities.
Presentations
SOA: The Progress you Make Depends on Where you Start by Jack Calhoun (video no longer available, but you can still download the slides)
Other
Arvindra Sehmi maintains a list of articles and presentations on the Microsoft Business Architecture (MSBA, formerly Motion).
Kind regards

I walked through your presentation and I wonder if:
- is there a video recording of the presentation?
- you have any reference implementation of the restbucks application? It would be nice if you could publish it. The language won’t matter.
Kind regards,
Robert

Hi Robert
There used to be a video of ‘Beginning an SOA Initiative’ at http://soaconference2009.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FA6FC7F5DB1C07!179.entry?_c=BlogPart, but it’s been taken down.
InfoQ recorded the REST in Practice tutorial, and we’re looking to turn that into a series of videos with some additional code examples, but there’s no definite timetable for that at the moment.
The REST in Practice book will feature lots of code and tests, in both Java and .NET; all this to be available for download in the first half of next year.
Kind regards
