RESTing on the Web with Wcf
Posted by Dan Rigsby on September 7th, 2008
I had the opportunity to speak the Kentucky Day of .Net yesterday. I gave my Agile Project Management with Scrum talk and got to premier my newest presentation on REST entitled RESTing on the Web with Wcf. Both talks went very well. The REST presentation was a blast to do. I got a number of excellent comments afterwards, and I think it may be my new favorite talk to give. I want to give a “Thank You” to the organizers of such a great event, and I want to thank all of the people who made it out. If you attended any of my talks, please pass on any feedback about what I could do better or what I did right. I am always looking for ways to improve and to help convey the material to others. And, if you are interested in REST, know a lot about it, or are giving other presentations on REST, I would appreciate any comments you may have on my slides.
To catch any of my future talks, you can always check out my speaking engagements here: Speaking Engagements. I am currently promoting 4 main talks this season (September – November). If you are interested in hearing any of these, please send me an email, talk to your user group leaders, or comment on this thread. I enjoy every opportunity to speak, share, and talk with my peers. I do still have materials for a session on Heroes {Community} Launch (Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5), if there is any interest in this still.
| RESTing on the Web with Wcf | .Net 3.5 ushered in a new Web Programming Model for Wcf which extended the library to support REST, Json, and Syndication. This session will dive into what this new model has to offer and how you can use it to extend the reach and scalability of your applications. |
| Duplexing WCF in the Enterprise (Don’t call us, we’ll call you!) | Duplexing in Wcf is the act of having the service call back to its clients. This topic rarely gets touched on, but is crucial for complex enterprise applications. This session explains duplexing and introduces the Publish/Subscribe server model as an example of how this can be used in an enterprise level application. |
| Introduction to Wcf | Windows Communication Foundation is Microsoft’s "next-generation" programming platform and runtime system for building, configuring and deploying network-distributed services. It was initially released with .Net 3.0, but there are many people who have yet to dive into this technology. This is an introduction session that will guide you through the basics of Wcf, why you should move to Wcf, and how you can move your existing applications to Wcf. |
| Agile Project Management with Scrum | An introduction to Agile Project Management with Scrum. We will go over the Agile Manifesto and dive into the core principles that make up Scrum and how it can be used to help your development processes. |
Expect new presentations for Winter (December – February). I am anticipating upcoming talks on the following: JQuery, Live Mesh API, Oslo, and PDC 2008.
As a treat, here is a picture of “RESTifarian Dan the Pig” taken at the closing ceremony of Kentucky Day of .Net. I didn’t wear both of these items at the same time during my talks, but those who attended would understand each of these props.

[...] I have a new 12 min 0 sec training webcast out over REST. This video is designed to explain REST at an architectural level, without diving into how to implement it in any specific language. This complements a recent presentation I have giving called “RESTing on the Web with WCF”. [...]

[...] I have a new 10 min 12 sec training webcast up over adding REST support to a WCF application. This video builds on top of the Understanding REST video. If you have a decent understanding of REST, you don’t necessarily need to watch that video first, but in it I define the 4 tenets of REST which this video applies to WCF. This video also complements a recent presentation I have been giving called “RESTing on the Web with WCF”. [...]

I keep getting an error when I attempt to consume the service using the JsonRestService solution using FireFox 3.0, is this a known issue? It works fine in IE7. Error message follows:
