Searching SQL Server Tables by Keyword
Sometimes it is necessary to search a database table by keyword. In other words return all rows that have a text string similar to the required string--or the inverse, don't return any rows with the matching text string.

WCF Web APIs
Quoting from a post at InfoQ:
Most developers first use WCF as a way to expose SOAP-based Web Services. But despite the name, Web Services are not really well suited for building web sites. XML and JSON-based REST services are simply a better fit for most projects. Microsoft has recognized this and is working on a project to bring WCF up to date with modern standards.The post goes on to note that Microsoft is releasing on CodePlex a set of libraries called 'WCF Web APIs' to address the issue.
