Visual Basic Version of Windows Communication Foundation
January 30, 2008.
Continuing its introduction of courseware covering Microsoft’s new .NET 3.0/3.5 technology,
Object Innovations today released the Visual Basic version of its three-day course on Windows Communication Foundation.
The new course is:
This course introduces Windows Communication Foundation or WCF ("Indigo"),
the new .NET technology from Microsoft for building distributed applications.
It is part of .NET 3.0/3.5, previously called "WinFX."
WCF is both a significant new technology from Microsoft and also a very complex one.
There are many important concepts that must be mastered
to be truly proficient in programming WCF. The learning curve can be steep.
The new Object Innovations course provides a practical, hands-on introduction
to the basic areas of the technology, enabling a programmer to do with WCF
the typical things they can do with other Windows distributed development technologies,
such as ASP.NET Web Services, Web Services Extensions (WSE) and .NET Remoting.
WCF enables developers to produce highly configurable, secure, reliable and transactional
services using a single simplified programming model. And since WCF supports the WS-* series
of Web service standards, it enables simple interoperation with other platforms and technologies.
This course covers the essentials of the technology and includes a large number of working
examples and lab exercises.
As part of creating this Visual Basic version of the course, the C# version was revised, fixing
some minor code issues.
Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
