Not the full picture regarding REST
Rated out of 5 stars, September 12th, 2009
There is definitely a space in the market for a book on RESTful WCF but unfortunately the REST support in WCF isn't great. Key aspects of REST just aren't handled by WCF and unfortunately this book glosses over that fact.
I would thus recommend that if you are planning to use the REST support in WCF then in addition to this book you should look at getting a good understanding of other aspects of REST including HATEOAS. Luckily OReilly already have RESTful Web Services which to some extent covers these topics, and more general REST issues, and they also have a couple of other excellent REST books coming out soon.
