The goal of the Microsoft incubation project codenamed Astoria is to enable server applications to easily expose data as a service that can be consumed by AJAX clients across the internet. Standard HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE are used to perform operations against the service, and data is exchanged via open formats such as plain XML and JSON. This session will provide a sneak preview of Astoria, which is now available in early release on MSDN.
