Consider your application has feature A and feature B, and in order to implement each of these features you need to invoke functions X, Y, Z: The gods of DRY would proclaim that you should create a new function to encapsulate the behaviour of X,Y,Z. However, I would argue that unless that group of functions […]
There have been a number of attempts to define a maturity model for building RESTful services. The idea of the maturity model is that is gives an indication how closely the service complies with the constraints of REST and hopefully demonstrates the trade offs to be expected when choosing to not follow a particular constraint. One area […]
Rob Conery asked for some feedback on an API he has been building for Tekpub. I know that Rob asked for URLs, and URLs he shall get, but I like to get a better understanding of the relationships between my resources before I start minting URLs for my service. On a number of occasions I […]

It appears I need to go on vacation more often. I seem to get more chance to experiment. One of my first discussions about RACK was with Mike Kelly where he suggested a simple solution to implementing HEAD across an API. Simply use a RACK application to convert a HEAD request to a GET and then when […]
So there I was, sitting at my PC hunting some bugs when up pops John Sheehan on IM and starts asking me questions about OPTIONS and TRACE http methods. I pretty much always have the HTTP spec close at hand so I think I was able to at least fake some prior knowledge in attempting to answer […]
We all have to start somewhere, and I like to start with the simplest possible thing that works. So I created a Console application and used NuGet to pull in the WebAPI.All package which contains all my dependencies.[1] Once that was done, all I need is this: If you point a browser to http://localhost:9000 you will get your first […]
