Presenation: Diving into Wcf
Posted by Dan Rigsby on February 14th, 2008
I just completed a presentation on Wcf at the local .Net User’s Group. This presentation was designed to give an introduction into windows communication foundation as well as to dive deep into a few areas. Topics included:
- Everything you need to know to get started
- How to convert webservice and remoting apps
- Bindings
- Message Formatting
- Serialization
- Duplexing
- What new in .Net 3.5
- ChannelFactories vs. Proxy Clients
There were four code demonstrations:
- A simple Wcf service and client from scratch
- A more advanced Wcf Service to show off DataContracts, Message Encodings, and ClientBase<>
- A Duplex example of a pub/sub service
- A Web Programming Model Wcf Service that demonstrated the new WebGet attribute and UriTemplates to produce REST type interfaces
Attendance was small tonight. I guess people have Valentine’s Day plans after all. We had about 1/2 as many people attend as usual. However I think the presentation was well received, there were no “presentation hiccups”, and there were a number of good questions asked during and after the presentation. For those of you not there, I think you missed out.
Here is the entire presentation including slides, before and after projects, code snippets, notes, etc.

Awesome! I’m glad it went well, and wish I could’ve been there.
If I knew you were going to cover the web programming model, I might’ve tried harder to make it!

Thanks for the presentation. I learned quite a bit! One of these days I should actually use WCF. It definitely looks in the realm of possible after your talk.
