restful callout to retrieve the data

Hi,
Wanted to grab few ideas on how to get this done and working. 

I need to be retreiving about 30-40 fields based on an external id doing a RESTFUL webservice call. Therefore, I do know that I would be writing a GET Method, right. But the data i retrieve, I need to display in a vf page and do not want to be storing in Salesforce. I have whatsoever no clue on how to retrieve and display the data returned from the callout, especially in VF page so please throw me some ideas of how it can be achieved. 

Thanks,
justin~sfdc
