My Twitter Hacking list
Taking advantage of the new Twitter List feature, I just created a hacking list focusing on relevant programmer news, from architecture to coding, including high scalability systems and a dose of cloud computing. I tried to avoid including "people" with too much noise or tech news style. For such lists, I would recommend scobleizer lists: you can not find more exhaustive lists than his!.
This list is going to evolve by adding or removing "people" based on noise level and technical relevancy. Any feedback or suggestions is welcome!
Google Speed initiative
Let's make the web faster
Great initiative with already a good set of tutorials and compilation of tools, and potentially an active community.

Liked "43 iPhone Development Resources"
Programming for the iPhone is still pretty new. It might be a bit tougher to find iPhone developer resources but we found a bunch that will get you through building any iPhone app you might be starting on. Check out our list of our favorite developer books, blogs, podcasts, screencasts, open-source libraries, communities, forums, conferences, training, and more!

REST Web services resources for Java developers
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for creating, maintaining, retrieving, and deleting resources. REST's information-driven, resource-oriented approach to building Web services can both satisfy your software's users and make your life as a developer easier.

REST related Design Issues
- PUT or POST: the REST of the story, or see also the interesting interview with Elliotte Rusty Harold
- Asynchronous REST or Slow REST:
- Instead of returning a custom object we could use the Content-Location header for the in-progress status URI of the requested operation. This URI could also use headers to provide information regarding the in-progress operation:
- Status-Code: "202 in progress" or "204 No Content" when completed or any error code
- ETag: for the operation progress status. Could be strong and still give a notion of progress
REST for Java Developers (via javaworld.com)
- Part 1 - it's about the information, stupid
- Part 2 - Restlet for the weary
- Part 3 - NetKernel
- Part 4 - The future is RESTful
- Notes:
- All of them are supporting JAX-RS, aka JSR-311, the Java API for RESTful Web Services
- And here is good presentation of JAX-RS
- Restlet project
This is my favorite library, and I like the fact that it is running on GAE/J and supporting GWT
- RESTEasy from JBoss.org
- Jersey part of Sun's GlassFish project
- CXF from Apache.org
- REST Libraries usage trend:

Tools
- RESTY is a simple cURL-based command line tool
- rest-client is a Java-based GUI and command line tool
- HTTP4E is an Eclipse HTTP client
Update 1: Added a libraries and tools sections.
Update 2: Added a section on design issues related to building REST services
