Abstract
This presentation will cover the REST architectural pattern, and then dive into implementing REST services with the WCF REST Starter Kit. We will cover its implementation model and using Fiddler to discover Service diagnostics and testing. A SQL Database will hold our data and we will use LINQ to perform CRUD operations on our data via the service. Once this is covered we will then look at some newer assemblies that we can use to create our client REST Service consumer. A good time will be had by all....
