Answer 1

The O'rielly RESTful Web Services book uses a map service as its operative example throughout the book, so you may find it useful, at least for the design of your service front end. It doesn't delve into the implementation very deeply, particularly the actual mechanics of map image generation, as it is primarily concerned with the design of the service interface from an HTTP perspective. It also doesn't treat very much with the client-side logic that would be involved in dragging, zooming and the like.
