CMAP Main Meeting - WCF 3.5 REST - Steve Michelotti May 5, 2009

Topic: WCF 3.5 REST

Tuesday night is not a night to rest but a night to join us for a RESTful evening of learning about a different approach to web services. You need not be a RESTifarian, but you will rest easier knowing you have REST in your toolbox.

With the advent of WCF 3.5, there are now many features at your disposal to build Web 2.0-style services. This demo-heavy presentation will cover both building and consuming WCF REST services. We will dive into many of the new APIs available in the WCF REST Starter Kit with a nod to new features on the horizon in WCF 4.0. Consuming REST services will be explored through a pure AJAX jQuery client as well as a Silverlight client. The session will also give a brief introduction to ADO.NET Data Services.
