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 (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. Restful architecture offers a simpler approach to building web services than Soap, Soa, and the cumbersome Ws-

Concise, clear and lean,
(1) It has a gradual progression from concept to implementation that is both easy to read and very structured. It made the whole book very valuable. The initial section on REST is concise and either enlightening or revision, depending on what you already know. The transition to WCF programming is just as smooth.
(2) It zeroes in on the essentials and provides very lean tutorials on the meat of implementing RESTful services. This is key because WCF as a technology is fairly dense and sprawling. Flanders starts with a quick tutorial of non-SOAP based web programming using WCF. And he covers both server side API implementation and client side consumption of the same.
RESTful .NET’s biggest strength is that it is concise, clear and lean. To that point, you need the basics of HTTP, SOAP, WCF, XML, C# and (briefly) ASP in place.

– The example code is a mess. It’s badly formatted and a lot of just doesn’t work. If you don’t believe me, download it yourself before buying the book: […]
– There is just not enough focus on the client (the book contains 11 chapters and chapter 10 is client code). However, the example must have been an academic exercise for the author who focused on SSDS rather than a simpler example. He would have been better off sticking to his example code and focusing more on security from the client’s perceptive.
