| Course Description | |
| In this course, you will learn how to use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and you will see how it is a unified programming model for building service-oriented distributed applications. You will see how to build, host and call WCF services and you will gain a deep understanding of the basic building blocks of WCF, including endpoints, bindings and contracts. In addition, see how to handle exceptions, maintain state between calls to a service and use transactions. Subsequent topics include and basics of WCF security, integrating WCF with Windows Workflow Foundation and building WCF services that support Representational State Transfer (REST) and syndication. By the time you have completed the course, you will have a good understanding of how to build and use WCF services in your distributed applications.
