Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): Creating .NET 3.5 Web Services
Course: 513
Type: Hands-On Training
Duration: 3 Days
You Will Learn How To
- Leverage Windows Communication Foundation to build Web services with .NET 3.5
- Configure high performance and interoperable services
- Exchange XML, binary and RSS data
- Secure internal and external access to services
- Harness two-way communication with WCF callbacks
- Ensure reliability with transactions, message queues and durable services
Course Benefits Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's unified distributed programming model for building Web services with .NET 3.5. With WCF, programmers can quickly and easily build applications that conform to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. In this course, you learn how to develop applications that harness WCF features for platform-neutral communication and reliable services.
Who Should Attend Programmers, system architects and those exploring development of services using WCF. Programming experience at the level of Course 503, "Visual Basic Programming for .NET," or Course 419, "C# Programming," is assumed.
Hands-On Training You gain hands-on experience building services using WCF. Exercises, completed in either VB or C#, include:
- Building interoperable and high-performance WCF services
- Connecting Web and Windows clients to WCF services
- Processing data reliably using transactions and queues
- Establishing bidirectional communication between clients and services
- Making secure connections to internal and external services
- Exposing Web-friendly data as RSS and JSON
- Applying post-deployment changes in security, message format and service address using administrative tools
