REST = Representational State Transfer is an architecture design to represent resources. any thing you build using REST constraints you do it on Web using HTTP. Following are the HTTP methods which are useful when creating REST Services. HTTP Methods GET - Requests a specific representation of a resource PUT - Creates or update a resource with the supplied representation DELETE - Deletes the specified resource POST - Submits data to be processed by the identified resource HEAD - Similar to GET but only retrieves headers and not the body OPTIONS - Returns the methods supported by the identified resource You can read regarding it more on my post here : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/182393/Create-a-REST-service-with-WCF-and-consume-it-usin
