Presentation Abstract

Windows Communication Foundation is Microsoft's Unified Programming Model which allows us to build secure, reliable, transacted, and interoperable distributed applications. WCF integrates the distributed computing paradigms such as ASP.NET Web Services, .NET remoting, and Enterprise Services and provides a unified model for connected system development

This session on WCF will cover the basics of WCF Architecture, the concept of messaging end points and the supported communication protocols. After a brief review of existing connected systems technologies such as asmx and remoting, we will talk about channels, messages, data and operation contracts, bindings, service hosting techniques and communication security offered by WCF. The intent of this presentation is to provide hands on technical overview of WCF, showing audience how they can build their very own WCF services and client application from scratch. Time permitting, audience will be able to participate in intermediate topics such as ASMX to WCF migration strategies, best practices, service oriented architecture and web service factory WCF support.
