Windows Communication Foundation

This 3-day workshop provides the knowledge and skills required by .NET developers for building the next generation of distributed applications by using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF was designed to expose the current multitude of Windows remoting APIs (web services, MSMQ, TCP, peer-to-peer, etc) from a single unified toolkit. With WCF, you can build secure, reliable, transacted Web services applications that interoperate with existing .NET technologies. In this workshop, participants will examine the overall WCF programming model, binding choices, host options, security issues and the use of declarative markup to specify the underlying infrastructure.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is intended for experienced .NET 2.0 software developers. No knowledge of WCF is assumed.
