Thanks to all the folks who attended to my session at the New York City Connected Systems User Group. As usual (in that User Group) I got a lot of interesting questions and feedback. Special kudos to Kent Brown who does a phenomenal job running the user group. I will publish the slides and demos early next week.
But we still have more REST for you.....
Next Saturday I will be presenting a similar talk at the Orlando Code Camp (http://www.orlandocodecamp.com/ ). Although I've presented in a lot of Code Camps in the past, ironically, this is my first presentation at a Code Camp in Florida. I've heard great things about the organizers and I am really looking forward to the experience. So if you are attending to the Orlando Code Camp and you are intrigued about REST concepts, patterns and a lot of WCF extensibility tricks I hope to see you at my session. I promise to finish right on time for lunch J
Next Monday (17th) I will be speaking at the Microsoft's Connected Systems User Group in New York. This time, I am going to be talking about RESTful services best practices. We are going to cover a broad set of topics ranging from REST fundamental concepts to RESTful services best practices and patterns. Specifically, we will explore how to implement Enterprise services capabilities such as Authentication, Authorization, Transactions, Versioning into RESTful services as well as how to overcome some of the RESTful services traditional challenges such as Low-REST support, service description, multi-format resources, etc. I've put together a bunch of demonstrations fundamentally based on WCF 3.5 but also touching other technologies such as ADO.NET Data Services and LINQ. Finally, I would like to spend a few minutes talking about how REST is influencing Microsoft's Connected Systems Technology stack and speculate a little bit on what we can expect to see on the near future.
So if you are in the New York area on March 17th and you are curious, confused or eager to know more about REST I would love to see you there. At the end, Is there anything better than getting some REST on Saint Patrick's day :)
SQL Server Data Services (SSDS) is the newest adding to Microsoft's Software + Services vision. Definitely , SSDS is going to impact the way developers approach data access solutions.
