false 3302853 1 <em>RESTful .NET</em> is the first book that teaches Windows developers to build RESTful web services using the latest Microsoft tools. Written by Windows Communication Foundation (WFC) 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.<br /> <br /> 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. This book gives you a complete guide to the WCF REST programming model for building web services consumed either by machines or by humans. <br /> <br /> No prior knowledge of REST or WCF is required to get started. <em>RESTful .NET</em> introduces you to the ideas of REST and RESTful architecture, and includes an overview of how the Web/REST model plugs into the WCF architecture. <br /> <br /> This book teaches you how to: <ul> <li>Program Read-Only (GET) services</li> <li>Program READ/WRITE services</li> <li>Host REST services</li> <li>Program REST feeds</li> <li>Program AJAX REST clients</li> <li>Secure REST endpoints</li> <li>Use workflow to deliver REST services</li> <li>Consume RESTful XML services using WCF</li> <li>Work with HTTP</li> <li>Work with ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria)</li> </ul> For many reasons, more and more Microsoft developers are turning to WCF and REST rather than SOA or WS-* standards to build and consume web services. The .NET 3.5 Framework is ideally suited for building RESTful web services, and this is the one book to explain how. If you develop with .NET, it's time to jump on the RESTful bandwagon. 3339669 15 10 2008 RESTful .NET total:7|5:0|4:3|3:3|2:1|1:0| 7 23 13 1 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 20:05:43 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 17:50:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 19:45:48 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:45:48 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 26 14:57:05 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:18:52 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:19:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 15 09:42:19 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 09:42:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 10:48:52 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 10:48:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 07:40:22 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 07:40:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 16:58:01 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 16:58:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 04 05:40:20 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 05:40:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 23 10:23:09 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 10:23:14 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Feb 23 12:53:08 -0800 2009 Sat Aug 15 20:00:36 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Dec 26 08:59:11 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 26 08:59:11 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu May 21 09:41:36 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 28 07:08:26 -0800 2008 Thu May 21 09:41:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 02 19:40:38 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 05:00:08 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3302853
