Understanding Web Service Specifications in WCF
SOAP isn't dead yet! While the world is moving more and more towards REST services, SOAP is still very much alive, especially in the area of application and enterprise integrations. This course explains the WS-* standards that extend SOAP to make rich integration scenarios possible.
What you'll learn
SOAP isn't dead yet! Enterprises have invested loads of money in the past decade to build their integrations on top of SOAP. WS-* specifications are extensions to SOAP that add capabilities to support advanced integration scenarios. This course first explains the origins of these standards, and then explains in detail some of the most important ones. Each module covers one or a group of related standards, the business needs, and WCF implementation.
