Congratulations are in order for my Conchango EMC Consulting Services colleagues Simon Evans and John Shaw who are soon to be first-time published authors when their book “Pro ADO.NET Data Services : Working with RESTful data” hits the virtual bookshelves (available for pre-order on Amazon).
Simon’s interest in RESTful web services mirrors my own although he has a slightly different perspective than I do coming at it from a front-end development point of view whereas mine is from the angle of data integration. He showed me some of the demo code that he has put together that is delivered along with the book and I took a great deal from it; Simon’s advantage is that he can draw on lots of real-world experience of developing SOAP web services and can use that to see the pros and cons of each approach.
Read what Simon has to say in his blog entry Pro ADO.NET Data Services : Working with RESTful Data and get your copy ordered if you are interested. I already have.
