I want to create a simple ASP.NET MVC RESTful API, but I want to create it on Azure.
Any recommendations, tips & tricks, or examples on how to do this?
You may want to look out for this book: Building RESTful Web Applications with Microsoft Azure when it is released.
Also Effective REST Services via .NET has a great section on REST with Azure.

How to start learning ASP RESTful services?
What do I need to know before start learning RESTful services?
Any suggestions will be grateful.
You should refer to the Microsoft "Guide to Designing and Building RESTful Web Services" which provides a very comprehensive overview of the REST prerequisite knowledge such as HTTP, URI and then reviews REST and finally details WCF support for RESTful services.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd203052.aspx
After reviewing the Microsoft design guide, you should review the highly rated CodeProject article on REST.

I heard that rest services are moved from wcf to asp.net web api frame work.
Our web application is built on vs 2010 (asp.Net 3.5) .So still i can use wcf rest services in my web application?
Please suggest some alternatives if it is not possible.
WCF can still be used to build RESTful services1, many services are already built with it and it's not going away. What you heard is that most of the new developments in terms of new functionality in the area by Microsoft will be made in the ASP.NET Web API framework, not in WCF. But as all the services out there can attest, WCF for building web services is still a valid alternative, if it does all you need.
1 The official name is actually "WCF Web HTTP Services"; REST is a well-defined set of constraints which need to be implemented, which would give the service some useful properties. There are some people who argue that people should stop using the term REST for all HTTP-based, non-SOAP services.
I have a regular ASP.net website and I want to use RESTful API's. Can I use this without creating a new MVC site within Visual Studio?
Perhaps this can help you if you want to make use of ASP.NET MVC Web API in a web forms project to implement your RESTful API
If you want to mix in general ASP.NET MVC into an existing Web Forms application you could try something like this. There should also be a fair amount of literature on SO and the web on how to mix the two together in one project/solution
I have seen a ton of sites on tutorials and how-to's for building your own RESTFul API using ASP.NET. All of them seem to use MVC though. Is it possible to build my own RESTFul API using ASP.NET and WebForms, without using MVC? If anyone has links to a tutorial or something, that'd be great!
Use ASP.NET Web API. It will be the canonical HTTP API server framework moving forward.
I know that asp.net MVC supports webservices call,
But I am asking in a wide scope that I have developed MVC application and I want to build an ERP that Integrates both asp.net 2005 application and my own MVC application.
So is it possible?
I am just an infant to think like this.
And this question comes in my mind when I saw a first video of webcast of WCF.
Yes you can - might need some modification of the asp.net app to include web service layer.
i would watch the MVC Storefront series http://www.asp.net/learn/mvc-videos/#MVCStorefrontStarterKit
for some tips on structuring the application and repository+ pattern
Yes, it is possible. I would build service calls (WCF, REST etc... what ever you are comfortable with) for your ERP. Once you have that your ASP.NET app can call them and so can your MVC app.
