Product Description
RESTful .NET is the first book that teaches Windows developers to build RESTful web services using the latest Microsoft tools. Written by Windows Communication Foundation (WFe expert Jon Flanders, this hands-on tutorial demonstrates how you can use WCF and other components of the .NET 3.5 Framework to build, deploy and use REST-based web services in a variety of application scenarios. RESTful architecture offers a simpler approach to building web services than SOAP, SOA, and the cumbersome WS-* stack. And WCF has proven to be a flexible technology for building distributed systems not necessarily tied to WS-* standards. RESTful .NET provides you with a complete guide to the WCF REST programming model for building web services consumed either by machines or humans. You'll learn how to: Program Read-Only (GET) services Program READ/WRITE services Host REST services Program REST feeds Program AJAX REST clients Secure REST endpoints Use workflow to deliver REST services Consume RESTful XML services using WCF Work with HTTP Work with ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) pRESTful .NET introduces you to the ideas of REST and RESTful architecture, and includes a detailed discussion of how the Web/REST model plugs into the WCF architecture. If you develop with .NET, it's time to jump on the RESTful bandwagon. This book explains how. "While REST is simple, WCF is not. To really understand and exploit this part of WCF requires a knowledgeable and experienced guide. I don't know anybody who's better suited for this role than Jon Flanders. ...Jon is first-rate at explaining complicated things. This book is the best introduction I've seen to creating and using these services with WCF." --David Chappell, Chappell Associates

 Using REST and .NET? A must read then! January 2, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jon walks you through all the necessary steps in using REST with .NET, starting with the why, then the how. This is a soup to nuts guide, with coverage of Astoria and raw XML processing via HTTP.br /I really enjoyed the chapter on Securing REST endpoints, I was struggling with this before I read the book. There is also a chapter on WF and REST that opened my eyes. I learned a lot in this well written book.
 Really good book that goes beyond the basics! December 29, 2008

REST support in .Net is built on top of a rich and flexible Windows Communication Foundation infrastructure. This book will guide you through the choices you have when designing APIs for your RESTful services and help you understand potential tradeoffs: for example, should your APIs' return types be strongly typed or plain message objects? what data serializer(s) typically offer the best performance? the most flexibility for xml-formatted message construction? Additionally, the book also provides best practice recommendations for hosting, securing, and configuring deployed services depending on varying requirements. Overall, a really good book that goes beyond the basics!
