WCF Advanced Topics
Explore advanced topics in connected system development on the Microsoft platform using Windows Communication Foundation.
What you'll learn
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the basis for building connected systems on the Windows platform using .NET, making it possible to build secure, reliable, and transacted services that can be composed into service-oriented applications. This course explores some of the more advanced aspects of WCF-based service development, such as hosting, WCF runtime internals, and extensibility.
