Title: Denver Visual Studio User Group - Meeting
Description:
YOUR Silverlight World – Use WCF to Easily Move Data and More Best Practices
with Doug Gregory,
Enterprise Architect
If you are like most of us application developers, you have had little need to use the .Net Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in your applications other than to consume services written by others. Now, Silverlight development makes WCF a critical part of YOUR business applications, especially when YOU interact with back end databases.
WCF allows you to elegantly and easily move data around, but only if you know how. Come and find out how from Doug! He has experience in this specific area and will present several best practices for you to use WCF services in your Silverlight applications. These include ways to organize your services for reusability and testability, how to write your service clients that work effectively with the Silverlight asynchronous model, and techniques you can use to avoid some of the common pitfalls when developing your own WCF Services.
You'll leave understanding how to use WCF in YOUR Silverlight World. Prior experience in these technologies is not required – Doug will quickly bring you up to speed; however, if you are already challenged by these areas, you will gain a deeper understanding to make your life easier!
