It has a sweet chapter on building a RESTful application, and shows very well how the controllers should be “rescoped” to work only on data that is appropriate. This “rescoping” is part of the requirements for Assignment 4 (requirement #5 about not letting users edit data “owned” by another user).

That chapter is a free download:
