Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the next-generation platform for building connected systems on the Windows platform. WCF makes it possible to build secure, reliable, and transacted services that can be composed into service-oriented applications. WCF makes this easy through a simplified programming model that unifies and improves many of the previous .NET distributed technologies like ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX), Web Services Enhancements (WSE), .NET Remoting, .NET Enterprise Services (COM+), and System.Messaging. Not only is WCF simpler to use than its predecessors, it``s also more flexible and highly interoperable thanks to its support for industry standards and protocols like REST, SOAP, and the various WS-* specifications. WCF is sure to change the way every .NET developer builds connected systems in the years ahead. This course covers the more advanced topics in WCF.
