My Talks on REST and S+S at VSLive New York 2008

I covered two sessions yesterday at VSLive New York. Navigating the Software plus Services Landscape and RESTful Services with Windows Communication Foundation. Below are links to my PowerPoints from both sessions and my code demos from my talk on RESTful services.

During my talk on RESTful services I used "Web Development Helper" which is an HTTP trace tool for Internet Explorer. Below is a link to this tool.

I also referenced that HTTP specification and recommended checking out the sections of the specification that deal with caching. You can read more here:

HTTP Caching

Finally, be sure to check out Rob Bagby’s blog and some of the material he has put together for RESTful services. Rob is a colleague of mine that covers the western part of the United States. (Sorry Rob – I don’t even know what city you live in.) He has a 10 part blog series on REST in WCF and he has done several screen casts. I have copied the complete index of his content below.

Blog Series:

· REST in WCF - Part I (REST Overview)

· REST in WCF - Part II (AJAX Friendly Services, Creating The Service)

· REST in WCF - Part III (AJAX Friendly Services, Consuming The Service)

· REST in WCF - Part IV (HI-REST - Exposing a service via GET - Configuring the service)

· REST in WCF - Part V (HI-REST - Exposing a service via GET - The ServiceContract and Implementation)

· REST in WCF - Part VI (HI-REST - Consuming our GET service via AJAX)

· REST in WCF - Part VII (HI-REST - Implementing Insert and Update

· REST in WCF - Part VIII (HI-REST - Implementing Delete)

· REST in WCF - Part IX - Controlling the URI

· REST in WCF - Part X - Supporting Caching and Conditional GET

Screencast Series:

· endpoint.tv - Controlling the URI in RESTful WCF with Rob Bagby

· deCast - Creating a HI-REST GET Service with WCF 3.5

· deCast - Consuming a HI-REST GET Service From Silverlight 2 (Beta 2)

· endpoint.tv - Caching and Conditional Get with Rob Bagby

Thanks to all who showed up to my sessions and asked insightful questions.

My Next SOA Post

In my last SOA post I provided an overview of UDDI and promised that my next post would cover the UDDI Information model in more detail. I am just about done with this post - you should see it soon. It is taking me longer than I originally expected - that is why it has been a month since I posted something. However, I want to make sure that it is accurate and understandable. So hopefully you will find it worth the wait.
