Create and consume RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way
November 17, 2009Nov 17, 200911/17/09As you’ve probably observed, we’ve been working hard over the past year or so to grow our application stacks to better support the types of applications (Silverlight, rich desktop, AJAX, etc) and services (SOAP, REST, etc) that are required to build modern,

We would like to start by being as transparent as possible in the design process.
