Programming WCF Web Services for .NET: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 2601   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Create Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services for .NET 3.x/4
  • Integrate RESTful services into Ajax applications with WCF data services
  • Create WCF Rich Internet Application (RIA) services for Silverlight client applications
  • Harness advanced WCF features for service routing and discovery
  • Orchestrate long-running business processes with WCF Workflow services and Windows Workflow Foundation
  • Deploy services with the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and Windows Server AppFabric

Course Benefits

WCF web services connect isolated data sources to create powerful distributed applications. .NET includes several complementary WCF service frameworks that allow enterprise applications to gain online access to critical business information. In this course, you learn to program WCF web services with C# or Visual Basic that harness each of these frameworks. You gain the knowledge and skills to maximize these technologies for your organization.

Who Should Attend

Those who want to create WCF web services using .NET. Programming experience at the level of Course 503, "Visual Basic Programming for .NET," or Course 419, "C# Programming," is assumed.

Hands-On Training

You gain hands-on experience building web services with .NET. Exercises, completed in either C# or Visual Basic, include:
  • Coding WCF services and clients
  • Building interoperable and performant WCF services
  • Locating services dynamically with discovery
  • Connecting WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET and Ajax clients to .NET services
  • Mapping long-running business processes to services with WF
  • Deploying and managing services with Windows Server AppFabric

Web service support in .NET

  • The spectrum of WCF service toolkits
  • WCF
  • WCF Data Services
  • WCF RIA Services
  • Workflow Services

Designing Operation-Oriented Services

Programming WCF services

  • Creating the service interface and implementation
  • Applying attributes to the service and operations
  • Connecting clients with service references
  • Hosting WCF services with IIS and Windows services

Configuring WCF services
