WCF Programming

Students Will Learn:
  • .NET Framework Architecture
  • C# Language Syntax
  • SOA Benefits
  • WCF Architecture
  • Building Service Contracts
  • Working with Data Contracts
  • WCF Security Options
  • Hosting WCF Services
  • Choosing WCF Bindings
  • Managing Service Instances
  • Fault Handling
  • WCF Routing Control

Course Description:: This course provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio to create service-oriented applications using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and C#. This class provides a thorough introduction to the C# programming language, including coverage of the essentials of the C# programming language, built in data types, operators, control structures, classes and methods. Students then learn how to leverage the power of the .NET Framework to build Web Service applications that interoperate with consumer applications including other platforms and technologies.
Students will learn how to configure addresses, bindings, and service and data contracts as well as how to use various techniques for developing endpoints to allow communication between consumer applications and the web services provider.
The course includes coverage of instance management, fault handling, and security. Students will learn how to use the WCF Routing Service for load balancing, content-based routing, and protocol bridging.
Comprehensive labs and exercises provide the students with experience creating both content server and consumer applications.
This course provides thorough coverage of the use of Windows Communication Foundation for service-oriented applications. Students requiring additional coverage of ASP.NET Web Forms, Windows Forms or Windows Presentation Foundation should contact SPIRO Academy or refer to SPIRO Academy complete course listing for additional training courses.

Course Prerequisites:Prior experience with a scripting or programming language is required.
