Video: Creating a Web Service with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides a robust framework that allows Web Services and .NET Remoting applications to be built and consumed using a consistent object model.  In this video tutorial I walk through the fundamentals of creating a WCF service exposed through HTTP and IIS.  Topics covered include defining a data contract using XSD schemas, generating data entity code using svcutil.exe, creating a service interface, implementing a service interface and consuming a service through a client-side proxy.

Your experience as a presenter benefits the video, like when you mention what used to be done in .NET 2.0 for comparison to the new way.

These focused screen demos really explain how the pieces fit together and what's done when.

Before seeing this, my eyes would glaze over trying to read articles on WCF services and bindings and contracts and WCF-specific attributes.

Thanks so much for these *intense* nuggets of info.
