Check out ASP.Net sometime, and see some of the innovations they've been making over the last 5 years and you'll see why Guthrie is still superman in a red shirt.
- Touche 13y agoLast I tried it asp.net MVC was not RESTful and they had a different product for APIs called "Web API" that is essentially the same thing except RESTful. It seems entirely silly to me that there should be different frameworks depending on whether you are serving html or not-html data. To me that's indicative of an organization consisting of silos.
- DevKoala 13y agoWeb API and ASP.NET MVC complement each other. Web API is a framework for building RESTful web services. You can host Web API on multiple ways, even without the need of IIS. Also, you can add the Web API libraries to an ASP.NET MVC project to facilitate the implementation of a RESTful API attached to your web application. ASP.NET MVC doesn't need to be RESTful, and it was never intended. Also, I am currently building a online application with AngularJS and Web API, and there isn't a need for ASP.NET MVC for example.
- danabramov 13y agoI'm not sure why you think MVC should be RESTful. These patterns solve different problems. It's fitting they have different implementations, not a one-size-fits-all framework.
