RESTful Web Services with WCF Screencast

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 11:02:03 AM (Pacific Standard Time, UTC-08:00)

I recently got the chance to record a screencast discussing REST-oriented web services in WCF. If you're interested in WCF you should definitely check it out because WCF and REST make an awesome combination.
WCF-REST-Kennedy-Peepleocity.wmv 35 MB (WMV HD)

I cover building WCF services using REST princples, the WebGet and WebInvoke attributes, working with the SyndicationFeed & Rss20FeedFormatter classes, and configuration-free WCF hosting in IIS.

You can also download the source code of the project built in the screencast.

Finally, if you're willing to do without video you can download just the audio as an MP3.

My esteemed colleague, friend, and fellow instructor at DevelopMentor Jason Whittington gave a great presentation on advanced .NET debugging recently at the Oklahoma City Developer's Group. They luckily recorded it on video and published it on their website so that it may "live on in the Google".

Just a site note: I'm doing my part to rid the world of IE 6. Visit this site with IE 6 and you'll get a shameful message telling you to "Stop Living in the Past".
