Author Juval Lowy, Microsoft software legend and participant in WCF's original strategic design review, revised this new edition for the latest productivity-enhancing features of C# 3.0 and the .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework. The book also contains Lowy's ServiceModelEx, a framework of useful utilities, tools, and helper classes that let you simplify and automate many tasks, and extend WCF as well. With this book, you will:
- Learn about WCF architecture and essential building blocks, including key concepts such as reliability and transport session
- Use built-in features such as service hosting, instance management, concurrency management, transactions, disconnected queued calls, and security
- Take advantage of relevant design options, tips, and best practices in Lowy's ServiceModelEx framework to increase your productivity and the quality of your WCF services
- Learn the rationale behind particular design decisions, and discover poorly documented and little-understood aspects of SOA development
