You should refer to the Microsoft "Guide to Designing and Building RESTful Web Services" which provides a very comprehensive overview of the REST prerequisite knowledge such as HTTP, URI and then reviews REST and finally details WCF support for RESTful services.

After reviewing the Microsoft design guide, you should review the highly rated CodeProject article on REST.
