Subject: Re: WCF service best practises

They've been flogging WebAPI in recent MSDN magazines, but I got the impression 
that it's just REST more formalised with contracts.

Perhaps this makes sense from the hints I've been reading. WCF is heavy and 
complicated and over-engineered to be general purpose (which is fine and I've 
benefited from that). REST is consumable by everyone, but it's a typeless mess. 
Putting some structure over REST and giving it a name sounds like a typical 
progression.

Oh well, I'd better start converting my brand new code to yet another standard. 
You can't have too many standards I reckon.
