Welcome to the ServiceStack wiki!

Here you will find some documentations, articles, tutorials and other anecdotes on the ServiceStack Web Service Framework!

Note: We're aware that documentation is a little sparse at the moment however it will be a top priority in the near future so be sure to check back soon!

In the meantime we welcome you to look at the Example projects to see how to quickly and easily build web services with ServiceStack. It is a conscience design decision to not to require any configuration and that the out-of-the-box installation is as useful as possible so it should be fairly easy to get started.

Getting Started

1. Get an overview in the introduction slides
2. View the Hello World tutorial to see how to create a web service from scratch
3. The MonoTouch Tutorial is another geared towards calling web services from MonoTouch however the content should equally apply in most C# apps.
4. Download ServiceStack's packages available on NuGet and start programming yourself!
