In our Windows Communication Foundation training class, you will learn to build and configure a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) solution. We start with an overview of WCF architecture and teach you to implement a simple WCF service in Visual Studio 2008. You will learn to configure and deploy a WCF service and add behaviors to services and endpoints. One of our labs focuses on debugging and diagnosis, and then we teach you to design a coherent and cohesive WCF service interface. We teach you to handle faults and exceptions on clients, and about WCF security and how to work with security information. Our course ends by teaching you to enable the flow of transactions from client to service. We use materials from the Official Microsoft Learning Products so that you are getting the latest information.
