MIX.06 and Web Services
One of the sessions at the mix.06 conference covered web services and the multitude of options available. Everything from REST, POX, RSS, SOAP, and WS-* is available through the windows communication framework (WCF). This provides a wide set of choices when building applications. From REST - WS-*, each approach has increasing overhead. Building a REST call is a lot less work than building a SOAP call. SOAP allows the addition of great metadata to your service, but if you aren’t using it, why incur the overhead. Go here for the overview of the session From HTML to Services.
