Part I. Introducing Windows Communication Foundation
Part 1 of this book introduces web service standards and the fundamental components of service-oriented architecture (SOA). Once you have an understanding of some of these concepts, you can appreciate the simplicity and flexibility of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). This part also discusses how SOA principles are applied in WCF. Chapter 1 covers the reasons SOA is needed, and provides a brief introduction to WCF. Chapter 2 looks at some of the key new features of WCF that were released with .NET 4.0. This is followed by a discussion of the WCF programming model in Chapter 3.
