One of he goals of the ASP.NET WebAPI is to make REST style API controllers more testable than more traditional WCF services where in the past. For the most part that is true but there are cases where an ApiController depends on the actual incoming request and its data and things can become a bit more...

In a previous post I showed how easy it is to create a simple chat application using SignalR . And chatting on the internet might be popular but as it turns out there are rather a lot of applications that need to do more than just chat. As it is there are a lot more CRUD style applications, where users...

In deze podcast spreekt Maurice de Beijer met Matt Milner over zijn TechDays presentaties. Ze hebben het onder meer over REST service en waarom je die wil gebruiken ipv SOAP services.

Having the ASP.NET Web API as a REST service returning data is kind of nice but to be efficient on the wire we don’t want to return more data that required only to discard it in the client.   As we have seen in a previous post just returning a collection data was real easy.   As it turns out...

With REST there is not a lot required on the client as far as sending requests goes. As long as you can send HTTP GET requests you are good to go and there are very few programming stacks that don’t allow for some form of doing that. Of course just doing an HTTP GET is going to give you some data back...

  In the previous blog post I demonstrated how to get started with the ASP.NET Web API and retrieve some products data from the Northwind database. Something that was really easy to do But quite often we want to update data just as much as we want to retrieve it.   A quick recap of REST and...

Some time ago I did a number of blog posts about the beta versions of the WCF Web API . As it turns out the WCF Web API team has moved into the ASP.NET team, a good thing as far as I am concerned, and as a result it is now called ASP.NET Web API . Now this is much more that just a name change. For starters...

In the previous two blog posts about getting started with Knockout.js and controlling updates using Knockout.js I showed to to get started with the awesome Knockout.js library. In this post I am going to show how easy it is to load a collection of items from a REST service and data bind to the complete...

In the previous blog post about Knockout.js I showed why and how to get started with Knockout.js. And I explained that the reason I really like Knockout.js is that it is a very familiar way of working with its MVVM style. I created a small demo where we could update the first and last name of a person...

Once you get into doing more client side JavaScript code with business applications and REST services you are going to run into the question of how to construct the client side HTML required to show the data to the users.   Using jQuery Assuming most people are going to be using jQuery on the client...

Services are becoming more important with richer HTML5 style applications. But by default the browser will let you call into a service on the originating domain but not another one. And that means you have to include all your services one the same domain, not very practical. And worse if you want to...

In a normal language like English we use verbs all the time to describe what we are doing. So I guess the designers of the HTTP specs must have thought why not do the same with the HTTP protocol. And that makes perfect sense. In the HTTP spec these are called methods but commonly these are also names...

When we build services, or write any code for that matter, error can occur and we have to cater for those. With SOAP service we gibe a calling application information about the error by returning a SOAP fault. This SOAP fault is just another piece of XML informing the calling application about whatever...
