Comprehensive Series on WCF & REST

My friend Rob Bagby has done an excellent job putting together a series of primers on REST with WCF.

REST is gaining more and more attention recently as a great way to expose services over HTTP that do not require WS-* features. I think if you spend some time with REST, you will not only learn an alternate way of working with services, but you will also learn or re-learn the fundamentals of the HTTP protocol, which will be helpful regardless of what approach you take to building Web Services.

Rob's blog series can be found below:

• 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

Rob has also put together a series of screen casts on the subject which can be viewed here:
