Part of Microsoft’s radical new WinFX API is the foundation code-named Indigo, now commonly known as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF technology allows web developers to create services that communicate and interoperate with each other and other programs and applications. This text is real-world oriented, offering a practical WCF programming model, and chapters on creating a WCF web service; hosting and consuming WCF services; deploying and managing WCF services; reliable messaging and queue management, and WCF Security. As there are currently few books available on WCF, this book will be useful to WCF developers, who tend to be early adopters.
