Yesterday I presented to a bunch of hungover VBug members; giving a gentle introduction to Windows Communication Foundation (if only all WCF applications were that easy). Thank you to all who attended and especially those who asked questions. Someone did ask about client and server communication; I'd point you (and I'm afraid I didn't catch your name - apologies) to my blog post on WCF callbacks. I've uploaded the slide deck and the (very simple) demonstration projects. Technorati Tags: VBug,WCF
I got the email last night that my session Top 10 WCF Tips & Tricks was selected for DDD7. DDD sessions are voted on by potential attendees so it's always an honour to get selected; and this will now be the 7th DDD I've presented at. So put the date in your diary and come down to the Microsoft offices in Reading for a free, packed, Saturday of community speakers.

Yesterday saw the release of the beta version of the P&P team’s WCF Security guide. The guide, Improving Web Services Security: Scenarios and Implementation Guidance for WCF, is the Microsoft recipe book for Windows Communication Foundation. It aims to show you how to build secure services using WCF and promises to be "a compendium of proven practices, product team recommendations, and insights from the field", including application scenarios and step-by-step how-tos. Best of all it’s free; published as a PDF for download. The chapters are Security Fundamentals for Web Services Threats and Countermeasures...
On Channel9 last week Amiga forever! wanted to know how to pass multiple parameters to a WCF callback; so as I covered callbacks at DDD Scotland briefly this seemed like a perfect excuse to illustrate how to create a callback in WCF. So why do we want callbacks? One of remoting's more useful features was the ability for a server to trigger events on a client; WCF callbacks provide the same sort of facility. To start lets create a new WCF project by choosing the WCF Service Library in VS2008; You can see I'm targeting...
Another Developer Day has been and gone, with mixed success for me. This time around I took part in two sessions, Colin Mackay's recruitment session and one of my own on WCF. The recruitment session was fun, it’s always amused to appear beside Sarah, who refused to wear the fetching green polo shirt, despite having one in just her size (for those keep note we’ve had white, black, blue and magenta, never let it be said we’re not on the cutting edge of fashion). Questions were taken from the audience (and indeed some attendees appear to have come...
I received the email last night; I’m speaking at DDD again, this time on WCF in a presentation entitled Web Services; we don’t need no stinking web server Remoting is dead. Long live WCF. This session aims to cover the creation of web services with WCF, inside and outside of IIS, including one way and two way services, as well as contracts, faults, authentication, authorisation and security. I think I’ll try to sneak something CardSpace related in there *grin* As an added bonus I’m also sitting on the recruitment round table discussion sharing my personal thoughts on where candidates...
