REST: RE presentational S tate T ransfer. It is architectural style of programming which helps to provide web service to out side world. It is very much compatible for high end browser in Mobile iPadf etc.. Resource: REST provides flexibility by assigning resources (nouns) their own unique Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs). Because each HTTP verb has a specific meaning (GET POST PUT and DELETE) REST avoids ambiguity.Resource means a specific object in system like file custom object..For example http://testAPI/people/tom  which can be operated upon using standard verbs such as http://testAPI/ GET/people/tom. Here tom represents a unique object in server.
