I’d like to share the article that I recently wrote with my friend and colleague Bruno Terkaly for the MSDN Magazine Windows 8 special edition. We show how easy it is to write and host a REST enabled Service in Windows Azure, supporting Windows 8 applications making asynchronous calls to retrieve data. It can be found here. I hope you find it helpful.
