[Hidden-tech] Tuesday, Sept 11: Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in Six Easy Pieces - Allan Da Costa Pinto

[Jami Albro-Fisher]

The Western Mass .NET Users Group is hosting its next monthly meeting
Tuesday, September 11 at 6:00 PM in Easthampton.  Please be aware the
meeting is the second Tuesday of the month this month.  This time we
have Allan Da Costa Pinto for a presentation and discussion on Windows
Communication Foundation.  There will be a pizza dinner and time for
socializing.

 

WCF in Six Easy Pieces 

Windows Communication Foundation is the strategic web services framework
from Microsoft. Shipped as part of the .NET 3.0, WCF enables developers
to build advanced, interoperable WS-* style services with less code. In
this demo intensive session we'll explore six facets of WCF including
its architecture, extensibility and infrastructure. More powerful and
capable than ASMX, WCF makes it easy to coexist with ASMX and reuse
existing code by enabling new behaviors with simple XML configuration
files. We will also review the exciting WCF enhancements coming with
.NET 3.5/Visual Studio 2008 that enable Syndication (RSS/Atom), AJAX
friendly web services and RESTful style architecture. If you care about
interoperability or are building ASMX web services today, you'll want to
see WCF in action.
