In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer through creating a resource collection service using the project template provided in the WCF REST Starter Kit. He builds a sample collection service that keeps track of bookmarks. He walks through the auto-generated code, explaining the purpose of the code, and demonstrates how to modify the code to customize the service.  He shows how to use GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to add to the collection, request individual items, update, and delete items.  He shows how to customize the XML returned by the service.

For additional information on the WCF REST Starter Kit, please check out the WCF REST Starter Kit Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.

Great Video!  I'm new to REST and love how easy the Starter Kit is.  I'm having some trouble figuring out how you got Service.base.svc.cs to show up since I want to change the data contract type from item to my object.  When I right click on the interface and jump to definition all I get is metadata from the .dll.  What am I missing?  Thanks for your help and apologies if this is not the right place for this.
