IDesign Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Master Class

IDesign Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Master Class

Course Overview
	Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's implementation of set industry standards defining service interactions. But fundamentally, WCF is nothing short of the new .NET, a better way of writing applications. The training starts by explaining the motivation for WCF, and then continues to discuss in depth how to develop service-oriented applications using WCF. You will see how to take advantage of built-in features such as service hosting, instance management, asynchronous calls, synchronization, reliability, transaction management, disconnected queued calls, security as well as emerging technologies like cloud computing and the Windows Azure AppFabric service bus. While the training shows how to use these features, it sets the focus on the ‘why’ and the rationale behind particular design decisions, often shedding light on poorly-documented and understood aspects. You will learn not only WCF programming, but also relevant design guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls. The material presented includes IDesign's original techniques and utilities and goes well beyond anything you can find in conventional training sources. The objective of the training is not to just make you a WCF expert, but also a better software engineer. On top of the frontal presentations, the training uses lab exercises and numerous conceptual demos and original tools and utilities. Attendees will find the demos useful not only in the training class but after it. The demos serve as a starting point for new projects, and as a rich reference and samples source.
