The benefits of using the Model-View-Control (MVC) pattern in our development projects is that we can completely decouple our business and presentation application layers. Furthermore, we will have a completely independent object to control the presentation layer. The independence between the objects/layers in our project that the MVC provides will make maintenance somewhat easier and code reuse very easy (as you'll see below).

As a general practice we know we want to keep the object dependencies in our projects to a minimum so changes are easy and we can reuse the code we've worked so hard on. To accomplish this we will follow a general principle of "programming to the interface, not the class" using the MVC pattern.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 3.5 introduced a “Web” programming model for building RESTful services in .NET. Although WCF 3.5 lays a solid foundation for building a wide-variety of RESTful services, it still requires developers to implement a great deal of boiler-plate code for each RESTful service they build and to deal directly with important HTTP protocol features. The WCF REST Starter Kit provides a set of WCF extensions and project templates that aim to simplify REST development even further. Although the WCF REST Starter Kit is currently considered a “preview” technology, many of its features will most likely find their way into future versions of the .NET Framework.

In this whitepaper, we’ll fully explore the various WCF REST Starter Kit features and show you how can begin putting them to good use to handle some of the most common REST development scenarios today. Microsoft is committed to offering a rich platform for RESTful services as part of Microsoft .NET.
