What you'll learn

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is an API used to build distributed applications using .NET 3.0 (and higher). WCF was designed to expose the current multitude of Windows remoting APIs (web services, MSMQ, TCP, peer-to-peer, etc) from a single unified toolkit. In this course, attendees will examine the overall WCF programming model, binding choices, host options, security issues and the use of declarative markup to specify the underlying infrastructure. Attendees will also learn about the major changes to WCF with the release of .NET 4.0

Prerequisites

This class is intended for experienced .NET 2.0 software developers. No knowledge of WCF is assumed. If you need to learn the fundamentals of .NET, you may be interested in Intertechâ??s C# Training, VB.NET Training or ASP.NET Training. Understanding of Object Oriented Programming using C# or VB.NET 2.0 development experience
