Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft? Dynamic technology for allowing autonomous software to communicate. Most important, WCF provides the promise of the development of model-driven software with new software factory approach, by which one can iteratively design solutions in a modeling language and generate executables from lower-level class library. Windows Communication Foundation 3.5 Unleashed is designed to be an important resource for software developers and architects working with WCF. The book guides readers through a conceptual understanding of all the facilities WCF and provides step by step guide to applying the technology to practical problems. As evangelists at Microsoft for WCF, WF, and CardSpace, Craig McMurtry, Marc Mercuri, Nigel Watling, and Matt Winkler are uniquely positioned to write this book. Their work with enterprises and outside software vendors has given them unique insight about how other people view the software, how they want to apply it, and the challenges they face in doing so. - Gives you nearly 100 best practices for programming with WCF - Provide protection details on how to version services that you will not find anywhere else - Explore using WCF together with Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows CardSpace - Provide protection details on a new contract high-performance data serializer for NET. - Walks you create a safe, reliable, transacted message, and how to understand the options available - Introduces you to federated, claims-based security and show how to incorporate security services SAML and WS-Trust token into your architecture - Provide instructions step-by-step instructions for how to customize every aspect of WCF - Demonstrates how to add behaviors, communication channels, message encoders, and transport - Presents options for implementing publish / subscribe solutions - Provide clear guidance on communication peer-to-peer with WCF
