The idea of a book on RESTful WCF was very sound but it faced a few problems the main one being that the REST support in WCF isn’t great. Key aspects of REST just aren’t handled by WCF and unfortunately this book glosses over these issues which is a pity because key aspects of REST don’t get mentioned.

I would thus recommend that in addition to this book you should look at getting a good understanding of other aspects of REST including HATEOAS. Luckily OReilly already have RESTful Web Services which to some extent covers these topics, and more general REST issues, and they also have a couple of other excellent REST books coming out soon.

I started reading this book after finishing Data-Driven Services with Silverlight 2 so I was already somewhat familiar with the basic principles of REST services in .NET but wanted more details about the inner workings of REST and specifically the details of configuration within IIS and web.config. Well, this book definitely covers the inner workings of REST within WCF VERY throroughly, but in my opinion, the approach was kind of counter-intuitive. He begins by providing command line examples, and perhaps it is due to my overall lack of experience with WCF, but I couldnt identify with the implementation of such an example, and the details of the web.config setup were only cursorily mentioned–everything was created in code. So, my exact goal was not fully acheived, however, the advantages of this book as a reference greatly outweigh that single disadvantage. The author delves quite deeply into an explanation of behaviors, endpoints, serialization, deserialization, and the URI template syntax — which basically are the key aspects of REST in WCF.NET. Even without a background in WCF, this book gets you up to speed very quickly.

Dont waist your time looking for any other .net RESTFUL book (to be honest, I dont know if is there any other! )

This is the only one that you need to understand and implement your Windows Comunication Foundation services acordingly with the RESTFUL design. A must have!
