You Will Learn How To
- Create Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services for .NET 3.x/4
- Integrate RESTful services into Ajax applications with WCF data services
- Create WCF Rich Internet Application (RIA) services for Silverlight client applications
- Harness advanced WCF features for service routing and discovery
- Orchestrate long-running business processes with WCF Workflow services and Windows Workflow Foundation
- Deploy services with the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and Windows Server AppFabric
Course Benefits WCF web services connect isolated data sources to create powerful distributed applications. .NET includes several complementary WCF service frameworks that allow enterprise applications to gain online access to critical business information. In this course, you learn to program WCF web services with C# or Visual Basic that harness each of these frameworks. You gain the knowledge and skills to maximise these technologies for your organisation.
Who Should Attend Those who want to create WCF web services using .NET. 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 web services with .NET. Exercises, completed in either C# or Visual Basic, include:
- Coding WCF services and clients
- Building interoperable and performant WCF services
- Locating services dynamically with discovery
- Connecting WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET, and Ajax clients to .NET services
- Mapping long-running business processes to services with WF
- Deploying and managing services with Windows Server AppFabric
