Summary

So now that you know how the unified programming model of WCF works and what its architecture is, you should be able to create your first WCF-enabled application. You should also be able to describe where the extension points are and be able to decide where you should extend in a particular scenario. We strongly suggest you continue with the next part of the book that builds on the foundation set in this chapter through the more advanced topics in the programming model around creating, consuming, and hosting services. However, make sure you have at least played around with the base services and client that comes in the accompanying code with the book.
