这是第一本为欲使用最新的微软工具建立RESTful Web服务的Windows开发人员而准备的书。本书作者Jon Flanders是WCF(Windows Communication Foundation)专家。这本简单实用的教程示范了如何使用WCF和.NET 3.5 Framework的其他组成部分，来建立、部署并使用多种应用场景中基于REST的Web服务。

RESTful体系结构提供了比SOAP、SOA或繁琐的WS-*堆栈更为简单的方式以建立Web服务。WCF已经被证实为无须依托WS-*标准即可建立分布式处理系统的灵活技术。本书为消耗机器和人力建立Web服务提供了一个WCF REST编程模型的完全指导。你将学习到如何：

·编写Read-Only(GET)服务

·编写READ/WRITE服务

·主机REST服务

·编写REST feeds

·编写AJAX REST客户端

·安全REST终端

·使用工作流传递REST服务

·利用WCF消耗RESTful XML服务

·结合HTTP运作

·结合ADO.NET数据服务(之前称为Astoria)运作

这是一本非常棒的介绍REST和RESTful结构的书籍。如果你使用.NET开发，那么是时候转向RESTful了——这本书将会讲解方法。
