As I alluded to in my first post, REST clients really should be driven by hypermedia. So how can our RestAgent class access this hypermedia and its links. Ideally, given a single root URI, I would like to be able to do: Before I talk about the magic that is going on under the covers here, […]
This http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3285704/why-does-rest-exist is the question that I want to give an answer to. I am answering here because people keep closing it. Sorry, the post refers directly to issues raised in the question and so won’t make much sense without reading the question first. I would even recommend reading version of the question prior to editing as […]
You might say I’m a bit of a fan of the REST architectural style. Let me provide a little background to clarify why REST is important to me, so you can better understand my underlying objectives. If we have similar objective then maybe this series of posts will be of interest to you. I write […]

The annoying part about that solution is that Http client interfaces tend […]
In a recent twitter exchange with Colin Jack I claimed that SELECT {…} FROM […] FOR XML PATH() is pretty much all you need for providing the Reporting side of CQRS. Ok, so maybe I overstated it a tad, but it is a valuable technique. He suggested I blog about it, so I figured even if people […]
This started as a comment on the blog post here, but it got too long. I have two questions for Dion and a few comments. 1) Have you read (not just skimmed a few times) Roy’s dissertation on REST? 2) Have you written both a REST service and a REST client that is in production today? […]
I think the HttpContent class is my favourite part of this library. This class acts as a container for the content that you received or are about to send.
