Learning REST API

Hi,

I would like to learn REST & BULK API Concepts. Is there any sample demo or project for the same?
Please let me know.

Always start with developer.salesforce.com - here's a tutorial on the REST API with links to other resources:

https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Getting_Started_with_the_Force.com_REST_API

there's a bunch of videos on youtube at: 

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=salesforce+rest+api

and here's the Bulk API "home" page - this has links to various articles, documentation etc:

https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Bulk_API

There aren't that many youtube videos, but what there is can be found at:

Hi Bob,

Do we need to have a client application to pratise this? I have seen the Developer guide which is talking about some Demo Client application. I dont have any.
Please help wrt this.

You'll need something to consume the REST API - most of the examples guide you through building a client to consume it.
