Before you mention it I am aware that this question has been asked before but not since the launch of WCF4!

So, after a lot of reading I've decided that a RESTful architecture is the way forward to begin a data providing API. Considering the release WCF 4, ASP.NET MVC 2 and WCF REST starter kit, what is the best way to begin implementing a RESTful architecture NOW?

Me: I am very familiar with ASP.NET MVC so I'd feel quite comfortable there. My knowledge of WCF, however, is lacking.

So WCF4 or ASP.NET MVC? (or something else like the wcf rest starter kit)? Specifically I'm looking for:

  • Ease of implementation
  • I know ASP.NET MVC, not WCF. Is WCF worth the learning curve?
  • Is WCF4 overkill for REST or will ASP.NET MVC falls short at some point?
