Description

The Windows Communication Foundation 4.0 (WCF 4.0) is a .NET-based application programming interface for building and running connected systems. It enables secure and reliable communication among systems within an organization or across the Internet. This book deals with the difficult issues faced by a .NET developer while working with WCF.WCF 4.0 is a communications infrastructure that unifies a broad array of distributed systems' capabilities in a composable, extensible architecture that supports multiple transports, messaging patterns, encodings, network topologies, and hosting models. This book is a collection of focused real-world recipes and covers basic recipes on topics such as working with contracts to more advanced topics such as extending WCF runtime. By the end of this book you will have valuable information that helps transform the potentially unproductive habits of .Net developers who work with WCF.This book will take you through many concepts starting with complete support for contract-related design for WCF service development. You will learn to use WCF's built-in feature for building various service endpoints. Service hosting and configuration are important areas for building WCF services, especially at the service deployment stage, and are detailed in this book. You will find it easy to work with WCF client proxy generation and metadata publishing and discovery when you go through recipes such as customizing auto-generated service proxies.The author then discusses the exchange of data in WCF service operation features, related to WCF data serialization. You will discover some useful tips for security in WCF service development and built-in features for developing concurrency control for your services built upon it.One big plus is that you will learn to extend the existing WCF framework to achieve advanced functionality. You will find a dedicated chapter for RESTful and AJAX-enabled service development. Moving on, you will find several useful WCF service interoperability cases, which are important for a distributed service development platform. Towards the end of this book you will find some handy and useful diagnostic methods for troubleshooting.

If you work with Windows Communication Foundation 4.0 and you want to be efficient when working with WCF features such as interoperability, proxy generation, and security, you will find this book very useful. With this book you will be able to find quick and handy solutions for various kinds of service development scenarios using Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation 4.0.

Short explanations and a quick sample after each explanation.For me, it is the perfect way of learning a concept.Examples are really detailed and make you understand what is going on behind.One of best tech books I read.

I've already had some WCF programming books. I think this one is an interesting and useful one as it is not focus on general WCF architecture or programming guideline, but provides many individual sample cases and tips about the questions or problems we might encounter. Also, I think it would be better if the book can add more advanced programming sample cases such as building a federation service or custom security token service.

Assil Mar 31, 2013

Even though it is less than 300 pages, It touches so many great advanced topics that you cant find in other books.It highlights many important topics, gives clear examples and guides you to the references for more information.I liked it.I gave 4 stars for all the good things I wish It was even more comprehensive to cover all the WCF in 1000 pages.

R. Kumar Sep 28, 2012

I am a senior .net developers for over 10 years now and I was looking for a book that can get me started with WCF however after start spending 7 days with it I can't even write a simple WCF service because I guess the book author expected everyone to be experienced WCF programmer. I believe a good book should always start from simple to advanced topics however here is totally opposite.
