| Written by Microsoft software legend Juval Lowy, Programming
WCF Services is the authoritative introduction to
Microsoft's new, and some say revolutionary, unified
platform for developing service-oriented applications (SOA)
on Windows. Relentlessly practical, the book delivers
insight, not documentation, to teach developers what they
need to know to build the next generation of SOAs.
After explaining the advantages of service-orientation for
application design and teaching the basics of how to develop
SOAs using WCF, the book shows how you can take advantage of
built-in features such as service hosting, instance
management, asynchronous calls, synchronization,
reliability, transaction management, disconnected queued
calls and security to build best in class applications.
Programming WCF Services focuses on the rationale behind
particular design decisions, often shedding light on
poorly-documented and little-understood aspects of SOA
development. Developers and architects will learn not only
the "how" of WCF programming, but also relevant design
guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls. Original
techniques and utilities provided by the author throughout
the book go well beyond anything that can be found in
conventional sources.
Based on experience and insight gained while taking part in
the strategic design of WCF and working with the team that
implemented it, Programming WCF Services provides
experienced working professionals with the definitive work
on WCF. Not only will this book make you a WCF expert, it
will make you a better software engineer. It's the Rosetta
Stone of WCF.
