New on the TechChorus blog there's a quick tutorial from Sudeer looking at making a RESTful web service with the Zend Framework.

The Zend Framework 1.9 release added a new feature - Zend_Rest_Controller. Zend_Rest_Controller and Zend_Rest_Route classes go hand in hand. In the previous versions of the Zend Framework, we have had the Zend_Rest_Server component. We still have. [...] In this article let us explore how to make use of Zend_Rest_Route and Zend_Rest_Controller to build a RESTful server application. Zend_Rest_Route routes the request to the appropriate module, controller and action depending on the HTTP request method and URI.

Written on the base of the quickstart project from the Zend Framework tutorial site, they create a simple REST service that handles the get, put, post and delete requests through a series of methods in the controller. A response is hard-coded for each and a few examples of how to call the service via curl commands.
