The WCF Master Class with Michele Leroux Bustamante (11th - 15th February 2008)

Windows Communication Foundation, WCF, is Microsoft’s implementation of set of industry standards defining service interactions. WCF unifies the previous generations of Microsoft’s technologies, offering the interoperability of ASP.NET web services, the extensibility of remoting and the productivity and power of Enterprise Services.

The training starts by explaining the motivation for service–orientation, and then continues to discuss in depth how to develop service–oriented applications using WCF. While the class shows how to use WCF, it set the focus on the why and the rationale behind particular design decisions, often shedding light on poorly–documented and understood aspects. You will learn not only WCF programming, but also relevant design guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls.

The material presented includes IDesigns original techniques and utilities and goes well beyond anything you can find in conventional sources. The objective of the class is not to just make you a WCF expert, but also a better software engineer. On top of the frontal presentations, the class uses lab exercise and numerous (100+) conceptual demos and original tools and utilities. Attendees will find the demos useful not only in class but after it. The demos serve as a starting point for new projects, and as a rich reference and samples source.

Dont miss on this unique opportunity to learn WCF from IDesign who has been part of the strategic design effort for WCF from the beginning, and who offers a profound insight on the technology and its applications
