Just when we were starting to get used to technologies like .NET Remoting, ASMX (i.e. Web services), System.Messaging, and Enterprise Services, along comes WCF, a technology that is positioned to take the place of all of those things.

Just when we were starting to get used to technologies like .NET Remoting, ASMX (i.e. Web services), System.Messaging, and Enterprise Services, along comes WCF, a technology that is positioned to take the place of all of those things. How could they do this to us? Why did they do this to us? Come to this session to learn what the Windows Communication Foundation is all
about. We cover WCFâ€™s high level architecture, its goals, and some of the basic concepts. See plenty of code and only a few PowerPoint slides. Since this is a very informal discussion, we leave plenty of space for Q&A.
