Post Conference Session - Mastering WCF in a Day
“Plumbing is evil. Developers are inherently disadvantages by plumbing. ”
-Juval Lowy
Juval Löwy is the founder of IDesign and a seasoned software architect specializing in system architecture and large applications design. He is the author of Programming .NET Components and upcoming Programming WCF Services. As a post conference session, I attended Joval Lowy’s “Mastering WCF in a Day”. It was a crash course in all things WCF with the following agenda.
- Service Orientation
- WCF Essentials
- WCF Architecture
- Data Contracts
- Instance Management
- Operations and Calls
- Transactions
The entire day presentation was essentially what Joval has described in this article “WCF Essentials-A Developer’s Primer” however, his concise examples and simplistic explanation has made a significant difference in understanding windows communication foundation (WCF).
I’ll discuss topics discussed in his session in detail as a separate post; following are the code samples, links and references to further explore WCF.
The IDesign WCF Coding Standards can be downloaded from here.
