Windows Communication Foundation Using C# Training Class Summary

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft’s new framework for building distributed systems. It unifies and builds on the diverse set of existing distribution mechanisms, which include ASP.NET Web services and .NET Remoting. WCF enables developers to produce highly configurable, secure, reliable and transactional services using a single simplified programming model. And since WCF supports the WS-* series of Web service standards, it enables simple interoperation with other platforms and technologies. This course covers the essentials of the technology and includes a large number of working examples and lab exercises.

This course can be delivered on Visual Studio 2008/.NET 3.5 or Visual Studio 2005 with the Visual Studio Extensions for .NET 3.0.

Audience: .NET Programmers who wish to use WCF to create and consume web services.

Prerequisites: A good working knowledge of building .NET applications with C#. Knowledge of building distributed systems and Web services will also be an advantage.

Class Length: 3 days
