Can anyone tell me where to find good WCF REST tutorials? using (POX)

This one is ok but i want to use something a little simpler

I can't seem to find anything decent that uses webget/webinvoke attributes etc...

  • You want to use WCF, but not the starter kit. Do you want to use System.ServiceModel.Web? What are the reasons behind your technology choices? Why not use OpenRasta? – Darrel Miller May 21 '09 at 18:16

This tutorial is REALLY simple. There is a screencast plus sourcecode. Great just to get you started with WCF REST.

I have been watching WCF tutorials on pluralsight and have found them to be very helpful.

  • Those are the same as on Channel 9 - Aaron Skonnard is a co-founder of Pluralsight. Indeed great stuff! – marc_s May 21 '09 at 16:49

The show endpoint.tv on Channel9 had a plethora of screencast by Aaron Skonnard on using WCF - including a whole bunch of screencasts on using the REST features of WCF. Highly recommended! Check them out, well worth your time!

EDIT:

If you - for whatever reason - really cannot use the REST starter kit, you might want to look at the ADO.NET Data Services, as mentioned here: Getting started with REST

That's basically REST based on WCF, exposed as ATOM feeds.

  • these are using the rest starter kit though arent they? i dont want to use that. – raklos May 21 '09 at 16:54
  • Why not? And if you don't use that, you really don't have the option of doing REST - WCF out of the box (without the REST starter kit) is really geared towards SOAP messaging - not REST. – marc_s May 21 '09 at 18:24
