Visual Studio 2008 Courses: Windows Communication Foundation
March 3, 2008.
Beginning its introduction of courseware using Microsoft’s new Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5,
Object Innovations today released revised three-day courses on Windows Communication Foundation.
The revised course are:
These course introduce Windows Communication Foundation or WCF ("Indigo"),
the new .NET technology from Microsoft for building distributed applications,
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 Object Innovations courseware 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.
Visual Studio 2008 is Microsoft's new Integrated Development Environment (IDE), designed to
provide effective tooling for all the new .NET 3.0/3.5 technologies, which include besides
WCF also Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). VS2008
comes with the updated version of the .NET Framework, .NET 3.5.
The revised courses are part of an extensive .NET curriculum, providing parallel courses in
C# and Visual Basic. In the coming months Object Innovations will be introducing
additional new and revised courseware on .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. Watch for them!
Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately. The previous versions, Rev 1.1 using
Visual Studio 2005, remain available.
