Presentation: "REST, JSON and RSS with Windows Communication Foundation 3.5"

Track: Bleeding Edge .NET

Time: Friday 11:00 - 12:00

Location: City

Abstract:

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) isn't just for SOAP anymore. In the .NET Framework 3.5, WCF will get native support for Web 2.0 friendly protocols like REST, JSON and RSS. These additions will expand the options available to service providers and consumers and will make it easier for developers to take advantage of today's programmable web.

This session will cover URI templates, the importance of HTTP GET in the programmable web, how to expose service operations via HTTP GET, how to control the format of data exposed by service operations, and finally how to use the WebOperationContext to access the specifics of HTTP.
