Excellent presentation, albeit at a very fast pace that sometimes went over my head; but that is OK, it challenges me to learn and push myself. :-)

Abstract:
What is Web API? How is this different from WCF?
In this session we will start at the beginning and learn all about Web API and what it has to offer. The good news is that if you have used ASP.Net MVC then using Web API will be comfortable to you. This session will be an interactive demo session so we will be spending the majority of our time inside Visual Studio getting our hands dirty learning about many of the features of Web API. Some of these features include its hosting options, what actions are and how to use them as well as how routing plays a critical role in building endpoints.
Finally,
I will give a demo on how to call a web api endpoint from Silverlight, along w/ jquery.
