Building Web APIs in Windows Azure with WCF to reach any device

The Discussion

• 

  Very cool session and very exciting looking forward.  Cannot wait to get my hands on the samples and quickstarts on codeplex.  Looks like a lot of thought has been put into the future of Web APIs (testing, ease of implementing and consuming).  Very cool.

• 

  WCF Web API Preview 5 is awesome!  Will you be posting the sample code from this session somewhere?  (The code with the Autofac and RavenDB sample implementations.)

• 

  @kcs yes I am planning to post the sample,

• 

  @CodingSalmon thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the API and the quick starts.

  Hi all

  I've posted the ContactManager using RavenDb sample that I showed in the talk here.

  To launch the sample.

  1. Download the zip / right click / properties / unblock all files. 
  2. Launch RavenDb by running start.cmd in the Raven folder.
  3. Once the Raven Explorer launches go to the Tasks menu and select import. Select the ContactManager.bak file located in the root folder.
  4. Run the sample solution.

  Cheers

  Glenn,
  
  this looks pretty awesome. When do you think will this stabilize so we can ship it in our products?

• 

  Hi Peter

  Thanks!

  Preview 5 is much more stable than our previous releases. As far as when our RTM will be, our plan is to ship V1 along with the rest of the web stack (MVC 4 etc) next April.

• 

  Thanks Glenn, that gives me a clearer picture.
  
  I only hope you'll 'ship', rather than 'shop' V1 in April ;)

  We'll do both
