Extending RESTful services with a custom Request Interceptor
There are a lot of aspects that needs to be combined in order to architect robust RESTful services to go beyond the typical HTTP verb and URI modeling.

On windows Communication Foundation (WCF) developers typically implement those capabilities by leveraging elements of the dispatcher runtime extensibility programming model like message inspectors, message filters or error handlers. The recently announced REST Starter Kit introduces another extensibility point in the form of request interceptors that tremendously simplifies the experience for enhancing RESTful services with extra capabilities that are not included in the default programming model.

Speaking about REST at IASA RC
I just finished my session about RESTful Services patterns at the Dallas IASA Regional Conference. I would like to thanks Paul Preiss and the IASA folks for extending me this invitation and particularly to all the folks who attended the session. The slide deck can be downloaded here and I think the video recording is going to be available at the IASA site really soon.
