Course description

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's implementation of set of industry standards defining service interactions. WCF unifies the previous generations of Microsoft’s technologies, offering the interoperability of ASP.NET web services, the extensibility of remoting and the productivity and power of Enterprise Services. The training starts by explaining the motivation for service-orientation, 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 and security. 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.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn WCF from the Software Legend Juval Lowy, who has been part of the strategic design effort for WCF from the beginning, (and even implemented parts of it), and who will offer a profound insight on the technology and its applications.
