RESTful web service tutorial?

[Bil Kleb]

Hi,

I would like to turn some of our simulation codes
out to pasture and string some of them together
by draping them in web services.

I'm looking for a RESTful Camping tutorial to get
started ... pointers appreciated.

Some simple example applications:

  airfoil force calculator: feed it an airfoil
  geometry, an angle of attack, and a Mach number,
  and it returns the lift, drag, and pitching moment

  ablation: feed it surface temperature and thermal
  protection material properties, and it returns
  surface blowing rate and specie mass fractions.

Thanks,
