I’m mainly doing javascript in my free time, but at work, it’s still classic .NET. Yesterday, I had to quickly set up a REST service via WCF to test something.

Just add the following to your ServiceContract (you’ll need a reference to System.ServiceModel.Web): [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = “{id}”, ResponseFormat

Once again, we’ll be using the Hammock library by Daniel Crenna.First, we need to set a few things up: var twitterUser = new TwitterUserQuery().Get(); _credentials = new OAuthCredentials { Type = OAuthType.ProtectedResource, SignatureMethod

But for a Windows Phone app I’m developing I needed to authenticate with Twitter. And finally, TweetSharp is no
