WCF Data Services and Silverlight
with expert Robert Green
WCF Data Services, formerly known as ADO.NET Data Services, provide developers a way to create data services for the Web. WCF data services use the Entity Framework and expose data using simple URIs. That way, clients can work with data in a RESTful way using standard HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT or DELETE, rather than having to use SOAP. The biggest benefit is that you can expose data in an easier fashion to more applications. This talk will show you how to create WCF data services and how to call them from Silverlight applications to retrieve and modify data.
