.NET includes complementary web service frameworks that allow enterprise applications to gain online access to critical business data. In this training course, you will program WCF, ASP.NET Web API, and SignalR web services with C# or Visual Basic to exploit each of the frameworks and maximise these technologies. These services connect isolated data to create powerful, distributed .NET applications.

You Will Learn How To

  • Create Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services
  • Develop RESTful web services with ASP.NET Web API
  • Harness real–time web services with SignalR
  • Connect MVC, WPF, and HTML5 browser clients to .NET services

    • Experience with .NET programming in either Visual Basic or C# at the level of:
    • You should know how to:
      • Write classes containing methods and properties
      • Design and implement programmatic interfaces
      • Employ data access in .NET using ADO.NET
      • Craft user interfaces for web or Windows applications with ASP.NET, Windows Forms, or WPF

  • Software

    • The frameworks covered in the course include WCF Web services for .NET 3.0 - 4.x, ASP.NET Web API services for .NET 4.5, and SignalR services for .NET 4.5
    • This course uses Visual Studio 2013, but is useful to those using an earlier version
