MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 01 of 15): Overview (Level 100)

Overview Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the Microsoft messaging platform for building service-oriented applications. Released with the Windows Vista operating system, and part of the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0, WCF unifies the programming model for how components and services communicate: be they distributed or not, accessible beyond firewalls, or available through interoperable interfaces. The attendee of this webcast will learn how WCF is the evolution of Microsoft .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, Microsoft ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX), and Web Services Enhancements (WSE) in a single technology stack. The presenter introduces WCF as a technology for Service-Orientated Architecture (SOA), discusses the programming model, and provides a short overview of core features.
