RESTful .NET

---

REST is an architecture that uses the strengths of the Web to build services. It proposes a set of constraints that simplifies development and encourages more scalable designs. Developers (the majority of whom were outside the Microsoft world) began to adopt this set of architectural constraints shortly after it was proposed (although, to be fair, there were a few inside the Microsoft camp who jumped on the REST technology). Many toolkits embraced REST as the major driver for building applications and serv- ices, especially Ruby on Rails, which soared in popularity. Although WCF isn’t tied to SOAP and WS-*, the majority of its programming model was initially geared toward building those kinds of services. The WCF channel model actually did have support for building services using REST, but the WCF programming model lacked explicit support for doing so. In 2007, a Microsoft program manager named Steve Maine spearheaded an effort to build a REST programming model on top of the WCF infrastructure. This model was released with WCF 3.5 in early 2008.
