  Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)  using C#    Module 1: Introduction to WCF  

Overview:   

In this course, you will learn how to use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and you will see how it is a unified programming model for building service-oriented distributed applications. You will see how to build, host and call WCF services and you will gain a deep understanding of the basic building blocks of WCF, including endpoints, bindings and contracts. In addition, see how to handle exceptions, maintain state between calls to a service and use transactions. Subsequent topics include and basics of WCF security, integrating WCF with Windows Workflow Foundation and building WCF services that support Representational State Transfer (REST) and syndication. By the time you have completed the course, you will have a good understanding of how to build and use WCF services in your distributed applications.

At Course Completion:    After completing this course, students will be able to:

 Build and call WCF services.  Host WCF services using Web servers and managed applications.  Configure service endpoints in code and in configuration files.  Use the WCF-supplied bindings as well as create custom bindings.  Manage service and data contracts.  Handle exceptions in WCF services.  Monitor and diagnose WCF services at runtime.  Implement three different message exchange patterns.  Maintain state in WCF services.  Add transactions support to a WCF services.  Authenticate callers of a service and restrict their access based on roles.  Expose a workflow as a WCF service and call a WCF service from within a workflow.  Build WCF services that support REST.  Build WCF services that generate RSS and Atom feeds.

 Review the Challenges of Building Distributed Applications  Examine the Concept of Service Oriented Application  See a High Level Overview of Windows Communication Foundation  Building and Host your First WCF Service
