This month's topic is:

Introduction to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Azure (speaker: Leslie Koorhan)
Topic Synopsis: Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a unified approach to distributed computing, combining aspects of XML Web Services, .NET Remoting, MSMQ, and Enterprise Services. WCF was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.0 technologies, and continues to be expanded in 3.5 and 4.0. It is targeted for implementing Service Oriented Architectu! res (SOA), and is Microsoft’s flagship framework for distributed systems. Some of the Microsoft communication frameworks based in WCF include WCF Data Services, WCF RIA Services, Windows Azure AppFabric, and Windows Azure itself. A big subject, I will be focusing on how WCF services are hosted and the ABC’s of endpoints for a service. (Address, Binding and Contract).
