WCF Design Concepts
Explore common design concepts for building connected systems on the Microsoft platform using Windows Communication Foundation.
What you'll learn
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the basis for building connected systems on the Windows platform using .NET, making it possible to build secure, reliable, and transacted services that can be composed into service-oriented applications. This course explores several key areas of WCF service architecture, including serialization, service contracts, faults and exceptions, security and reliability.
