Developers Like Hypermedia, But They Don't Like Web Browsers. Richardson, L. In pages 4-9.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Although desktop developers often have trouble consciously understanding RESTful concepts like "hypermedia as the engine of application state", this does not prevent them from intuitively understanding client-side tools based on these concepts. However, I encountered unexpected developer resistance after implementing a security protocol I and other web developers had thought uncontroversial: the most common mechanism for authorizing OAuth request tokens. This developer resistance has implications for many web services that share their authentication credentials with a corresponding website.
