If Representational State Transfer (REST) is a big mystery to you, have a look at this article. In particular, be sure to paste the URLs they give you (like this one) and have a look. The principle demonstrated in the article is the use of variables in the URL to request different XML and Atom representations of Twitter status updates. The concept is no more complex than that. Even if you don't follow all of the details, this article should at least demystify REST for you.
