Book Overview: Windows Communication Foundation (WCF--formerly codename Indigo) ties together previously separate Microsoft connectivity technologies (Web Services, MSMQ, COM+, .NET Remoting, etc.) into a single programming model. WCF is part of the WinFX platform that is essentially the Windows Programming SDK that will ship with Windows Vista. This title addresses an unmet need in the marketplace as there are no books, or much documentation at all, of the post-Beta 1 WCF programming model and therefore brings developers the information they need to be prepared to work with this technology upon its release. The reader will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to apply the Windows Communication Foundation to almost any distributed computing problem, from enterprise scale to peer-to-peer. Most importantly, after reading the book and working through the examples, they will actually have considerable experience using WCF, because the book and accompanying CD take the reader through the steps of actually building Windows Communication Foundation solutions.
Craig McMurtry and Marc Mercuri are members of Microsoft's Evangelism team tasked with telling the world about the technology. As such, the authors have exclusive access to the very designers and developers that are producing the technology, as well as to early releases thereof. That access provides insights into features and application of the technology that others do not have, as well as knowledge of how the technology will evolve, and familiarity with best practices that are only just being formulated by the testing teams.
