Summary

• WCF 4.0 WebHTTP– Released with the .NET Framework.– Easy to start with REST, if you already

have WCF in the house.– Advanced goals can be reached,but with

high effort.– Distance to the Web can be felt.

Summary

• ASP.NET MVC– Version 3.0 released as separate

Product.– Easy to start with REST, if you know any

Web-Platform.– Advanced goals can be easily reached

with small effort.– It's the raw Web.

Summary

• WCF 4.0 WebAPIHTTP– Currently a Preview Release.– Easy to adopt from the WCF perspective.– Advanced goals can be reached, with

less high effort.– Still Abstracted from the web.
