Windows® Communication Foundation 4 Step by Step

---

Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), alongside Windows Workflow Foun- dation (WF) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), has become part of the primary framework for building the next wave of business applications for the Microsoft Windows operating system . WCF provides the underpinning technology driving distributed solutions based on the Microsoft platform; with it, you can build powerful service-oriented systems designed to address connected services and applications . WCF is also an integral technology for building and accessing services running in the cloud under Windows Azure .
You can use WCF to create new services as well as augment and interoperate with many exist- ing services created by using other technologies . When designing distributed applications in the past, you frequently had to choose a specific technology, such as Web services, COM+, Microsoft Message Queue, or .NET Framework Remoting . That choice often had a fundamen- tal impact on the architecture of your solutions . In contrast, WCF provides a consistent model for implementing scalable and extensible systems that employ a variety of technologies with which you can design and architect your solutions without being restricted by a specific con- nectivity mechanism .
In short, if you are building professional, service-oriented solutions for Windows, you need to learn about WCF .
