Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a new object model for building distributed applications using .NET 3.0. WCF was designed to expose the current multitude of Windows remoting APIs (web servcies, MSMQ, Com+, peer-to-peer) using a single unified object model. In this course, attendees will examine the overall WCF object model, binding choices, host options and the use of declarative markup to specify the underlying infrastructure
