The first complete, cutting-edge guide to building REST-based services with Microsoft's .NET Framework.
Shows .NET developers why REST is so exciting, how it works, and how both client and server-based code can access data using REST services.
Covers leading-edge technologies and approaches, including Astoria, REST on WCF, Silverlight 2.0, and ASP.NET MVC.
100% practical: focused on building REST capability into real applications, and leveraging REST's benefits quickly and painlessly.
Developers are discovering REST's immense potential to simplify the development of sophisticated web services and applications that incorporate externally-sourced data. There is little information on using REST with the .NET platform. In Effective REST Services via .NET , .NET experts Kenn Scribner and Scott Seely show exactly how to use the .NET Framework's core building blocks to consume and serve RESTful services. Scribner and Seely first explain why REST services offer so much value to the developers of today's web services and Web 2.0 applications. Next, using realistic examples, they demonstrate how REST services work, and how REST services can best be used in both desktop-based and Web-based applications. Scribner and Seely conclude by introducing Microsoft's revolutionary cloud computing initiative, and showing how to access data from the computational cloud via Microsoft's new 'Service Bus.' This book covers cutting-edge technology, but from start to finish it's 100% practical - focused on solving real problems with working tools.
