Just went the to tech-ed 2008 in HK today and attended "Building RESTful service using Windows Communication Foundation 3.5" session. It is a great talk by Jon Flanders. With WCF 3.5, it could easily help to prepare the RESTful without much coding and also has the embedded module to build the RSS feed follow the standards. This is very important to for a web site to provide the RSS feed because user start to changing their browsing behaviour. Some of them will go through the RSS feed to look at the headlines first before visit the website to read the detail. Hence, RSS is very convenience.
However, current ASP.NET MVC framework (preview 5) still hasn't integrate with WCF 3.5 yet. Hence, we still couldn't gain any benefit by using the WCF RSS module with MVC. But luckily, Jon Flanders give us a news that Microsoft is working hard on this area and they will provide a solution for it later.
Anyway, Homebloc supports RSS feed now with using pure ASP.NET MVC framework already. Of course, this solution is not a prefect solution which needs to build a customize template for the RSS feed. Once Microsoft provides the official solution, we will update it with that standard approach.
