Effective REST Services via .NET
Build Web Services Better and Faster with RESTful Techniques and .NET Technologies Developers are rapidly discovering the power of REST to simplify the development of even the most sophisticated Web services–and today’s .NET platform is packed with tools for effective REST development. Now, for the first time, there’s a complete, practical guide to building REST-based services with .NET development technologies. Long-time .NET and Web services developers and authors Kenn Scribner and Scott Seely explain why REST fits so smoothly into the Internet ecosystem, why RESTful services are so much easier to build, what it means to be RESTful, and how to identify behaviors that are not RESTful. Next, they review the core Internet standards and .NET technologies used to develop RESTful solutions and show exactly how to apply them on both the client and server side. Using detailed code examples, Scribner and Seely begin with simple ASP.NET techniques, and then introduce increasingly powerful options–including Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Microsoft’s cloud computing initiative, Azure. Coverage includes • Accessing RESTful services from desktop applications, using Windows Forms and WPF • Supporting Web client operations using Silverlight 2.0, JavaScript, and other technologies • Understanding how IIS 7.0 processes HTTP requests and using that knowledge to build better REST services • Constructing REST services based on traditional ASP.NET constructs • Utilizing the ASP.NET MVC Framework to implement RESTful services more effectively • Taking advantage of WCF 3.5’s powerful REST-specific capabilities • Creating RESTful data views effortlessly with ADO.NET Data Services • Leveraging Microsoft’s Azure cloud-computing platform to build innovative new services • Choosing the right .NET technology for each REST application or service
ASP.NET Web API 2: Building a REST Service from Start to Finish
The ASP.NET MVC Framework has always been a good platform on which to implement REST-based services, but the introduction of the ASP.NET Web API Framework raised the bar to a whole new level. Now in release version 2.1, the Web API Framework has evolved into a powerful and refreshingly usable platform. This concise book provides technical background and guidance that will enable you to best use the ASP.NET Web API 2 Framework to build world-class REST services. New content in this edition includes: New capabilities in Web API 2 (currently version 2.1). Support for partial updates, or PATCH. API versioning. Support for legacy SOAP-based operations. How to handle non-resource APIs using REST How to best expose relationships between resources JSON Web Tokens, CORS, CSRF Get ready for authors Jamie Kurtz and Brian Wortman to take you from zero to REST service hero in no time at all. No prior experience with ASP.NET Web API is required; all Web API-related concepts are introduced from basic principles and developed to the point where you can use them in a production system. A good working knowledge of C# and the .NET Framework are the only prerequisites to best benefit from this book.

Understand federated searching implementation better—and what works best in your library Federated Search: Solution or Setback for Online Library Services is a comprehensive guide to choosing, implementing, testing, teaching, and marketing federated search products in libraries. Experts in the field and librarians across the United States provide firsthand information on using federated search engines in different types of libraries (small, academic, and consortia), integrating search engines into library Web sites, homegrown upgrades, bidding on a product, other uses for software, and the future of federated searching. Federated Search: Solution or Setback for Online Library Services explains what factors come into play when choosing which federated search engine is appropriate for a library. This helpful resource discusses how to go out to bid for a product and provides a variety of case examples that illustrate implementation in libraries of different sizes. The book also includes information of what happened once federated search was implemented on various campuses, such as usability studies, teaching issues, getting buy-on from librarians, and marketing to students. Topics discussed in Federated Search: Solution or Setback for Online Library Services include: implementing federated search in different types of libraries why some libraries choose NOT to implement federated searching usability testing of federated search product implementations teaching issues with federated search products marketing to library users integrating federated searching into library web sites and existing services homegrown federated search upgrades the future of federated searching in libraries Federated Search: Solution or Setback for Online Library Services is an essential source on federated searching in libraries for librarians from any size or type of library.
