Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the next-generation platform for building connected systems on the Windows platform. WCF makes it possible to build secure, reliable, and transacted systems through a simplified programming model that unifies and improves many of the previous .NET technologies including ASMX, WSE, .NET Remoting, .NET Enterprise Services (COM+), and System.Messaging. Not only is WCF simpler to use than its predecessors, it’s also more flexible and interoperable thanks to its focus on service orientation and its support for standard protocols and specifications. WCF is sure to change the way every .NET developer builds connected systems in the years ahead.

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) allows developers to create dynamic, reactive applications with true object reuse and composition. WF provides the tools and services .NET developers need to add rich workflow capabilities to their ASP.NET and Smart Client applications as well as Web and Windows services. WF solves many common problems that developers encounter when building typical applications with processes that span more than a single interaction. With the ability to fully involve business users and IT Pros in the use and monitoring of an application, WF stands to change the way many .NET programs are written in the future.

This course will provide fast-paced exposure to both WCF and WF to get you started building transparent services and smart clients today.

• .NET 3.0
• .NET 3.5

• Five 10 hour days of intense learning
• Multiple instructor format with some of the top authorities on .NET today

Who Should Attend

Developers interested in ramping up quickly on the WCF/WF architectures, programming models, and other key concepts and features.

Prerequisites:

Experience programming in C# using Visual Studio .NET is required.

What you should expect to learn:

The first half of this course will not only help you understand the design principles behind WCF but also teach you practical usage. You’ll learn about the WCF programming model and how to configure security, reliability, and transaction support. You’ll learn how to host services in different types of applications and over different communication protocols, using various standards when interoperability is important. By the end of the course you will feel comfortable tackling the WCF programming challenges you face.

The second half will not only help you understand the architecture and design principles underlying WF, but also teach you how to begin using WF right now. You’ll learn how to use WF to create rich Human Workflow applications that truly involve the business user as well as how to create transparent, maintainable application code. Coverage will include how to create sequence and State-machine workflows as well as how to extend WF with custom activities and services. By the end of the course you will feel confident building, deploying and hosting workflows and creating custom activities.
