Connecting Applications with WCF

Most applications of any scale need to make remote calls. Whether you need to call across processes from your smart client to a web service, from your web server to your application server, or from one client to another in a peer to peer fashion, WCF supports any kind of remote messaging or communications scenario. It doesn’t just stop at remote calls either, but also supports multiple forms of security, distributed transactions, queuing, concurrency, callbacks and many other things that are needed in full blown enterprise scale Service Oriented Architecture applications. This talk will show you the basics of using WCF to connect applications. You will learn what WCF is all about, how it relates to other remoting technologies, how to create a service, how to connect a client, and will expose you to the other many facets of WCF.
