Just finished visiting ADO.NET 3.5 site , aka Project “Astoria”.
It looks simple and pretty REST-full. And this is the BIG DEAL about it apparently. It is based on the REST concepts. There is no SOAP in view. No WS-*, etc. None of the key concepts MS and his blog-happy uber-developers have been trumpeting into our ears for last few years. And very loudly so with that. Now comes “ASTORIA” and the REST!
