Next geekSpeak - REST and WCF 3.5 with Adnan Masood

This geekSpeak is a very RESTful one. Distributed systems guru Adnan Masood introduces the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style and its design principles, and he discusses how they can be implemented using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 3.5. Adnan offers guidance and takes questions on when to choose a RESTful design over SOAP-based services and how WCF fits into the spectrum of Microsoft technologies that include ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and ASP.NET MVC. Your hosts for this geekSpeak are Lynn Langit and Glen Gordon.
