This easy-to-use introduction to Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
is ideal for developers who want to learn to build services on a company network
or as part of an enterprise system. Built into Windows Vista and Longhorn, and
available for Windows XP and Windows 2003, WCF provides a platform for service-oriented
architecture (SOA) that enables secure and reliable communication among systems
within an organization or across the Internet. With WCF, software developers can
focus on their business applications and not the plumbing required to connect
them. Furthermore, with WCF developers can learn a single programming API to achieve
results previously provided by ASMX, Enterprise Services and .NET Remoting. Learning
WCF removes the complexity of using this platform by providing detailed answers,
explanations and code samples for the most common questions asked by software
developers.
Windows Communication Foundation (or WCF, formerly code name "Indigo") provides
a set of programming APIs that make it easy to build and consume secure, reliable,
and transacted services. This platform removes the need for developers to learn
different technologies such as ASMX, Enterprise Services and .NET Remoting,
to distribute system functionality on a corporate network or over the Internet.
The first truly service-oriented platform, WCF provides innovations that decouple
service design and development from deployment and distribution - creating a
more flexible and agile environment. WCF also encapsulates all of the latest
web service standards for addressing, security, reliability and more.
