    Source code?

    by Michael G

    It would be nice to have a downlodable source code here. I personally hate the presentation pages with nothing but "DEMO" on them. So far there is good talk and 75%-noninformative presentation materials.

    Nice overview

    by chris barrow

    Nice job. The presentation is a concise overview of the new REST features for WCF 3.5. I have worked with WCF before so I agree working with these new features should not be difficult for anyone familiar with the technology.

    It is unfortunate you have to directly reference a .net interface on your client application so it can call REST services, but since there is no standardized mechanism to expose any sort of REST web service with meta data, it is still a better solution than having to reference the actual .NET types which implement the interface.
