 | Written by Microsoft software legend Juval Lowy, Programming WCF
Services is the authoritative introduction to Microsoft's new, and some
say revolutionary, unified platform for developing service-oriented
applications (SOA) on Windows. Relentlessly practical, the book
delivers insight, not documentation, to teach developers what they need
to know to build the next generation of SOAs. |
After explaining the advantages of service-orientation for application
design and teaching the basics of how to develop SOAs using WCF, the
book shows how you can take advantage of built-in features such as
service hosting, instance management, asynchronous calls,
synchronization, reliability, transaction management, disconnected
queued calls and security to build best in class applications.
Programming WCF Services focuses on the rationale behind particular
design decisions, often shedding light on poorly-documented and
little-understood aspects of SOA development. Developers and architects
will learn not only the "how" of WCF programming, but also relevant
design guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls. Original techniques
and utilities provided by the author throughout the book go well beyond
anything that can be found in conventional sources. Juval Lowy, "Programming WCF Services"O'Reilly Media ISBN 0596526997 February 20, 2007 Format: CHM 634 pages 1.6MB
