Tutorial series for RESTful api with MVC Web API

Does anyone have any links for building RESTful web services with the ASP.NET Web API. So far I have built a very basic web service using WCF and would now like to try the web api to see which one suits for Azure based web services.

Can MVC be RESTFul?

ASP.NET MVC is one such framework that provides an inherently RESTful model for building XHTML-based services.

I will start from:

  • ASP.NET Web API: you can find screencasts, getting started info, etc (funny enough it is down at the mo)

And move on to these blogs:

  • Henrik Nielsen's blog (ASP.NET Web API architect)
  • Gunnar Piepman's blog
  • Pedro Reys blog
  • Tugberk Ugurlu's blog
  • My own blog

For asking questions, you can try here (SO) and Web API.

FYI, I'm a sucker for a good conference presentation video (RIP MIX...)

This was my introduction to the subject and it gave me a very good crash course on the whys and hows of Web API.

WCF Web APis: "There's a URI for That"

A note of caution: The video is referencing an alpha status of the project so it may include some old terminology. But as Web API is still in beta, I think that point is kind-of moot.
