Windows Communication Foundation is Microsoft's "next-generation" programming platform and runtime system for building, configuring and deploying network-distributed services. It was initially released with .Net 3.0, but there are many people who have yet to dive into this technology. This is an introduction session that will guide you through the basics of WCF, why you should move to WCF, and how you can move your existing applications to WCF.
