Building a C# Web API - REST

Question

I am about to start a project in C#. I\'ve never used c# and I was hoping I could get some implementation advice before I make a silly mistake and go down the wrong path.

Answer 1

If you think WCF might be overkill you could implement a simple ASP.NET MVC application that returns data as JSON or XML.

update: Another excellent option is ServiceStack. I've used it and it's really nice to work with.
