Rest web services are a powerful and simple way for your software to expose a friendly web-based API and facilitate integration between your system any any number of external clients - regardless of platform (AJAX front-ends included!). In this screencast; CFCommons Visuals; ReST Web Services with Powernap - Part 1, I detail how easy and painless it is to create Rest endpoints with minimal code leveraging the org.cfcommons.context API and the newly released Powernap plugin.
**Important Note: Screencasting is fun, but can be difficult! So much so that I forgot to end the tutorial by caching the resulting context object - a very important part of working with an HTTPContext. Remember, context need only be created once during the lifetime of your application.
