The WCF Extensibility Guidance is now on MSDN!
As the WCF team already announced, the first chapter of the WCF Extensibility Guidance is now available on MSDN . This paper is the result of an effort I started a few months ago with my colleague and friend Pablo Cibraro. Our goal was to provide a detailed guidance of the major extensibility points of the WCF runtime. In that sense, we decided to cover major areas of the WCF extensibility programming model such as channels, client-dispatcher, security, hosting, metadata, RESTful service and even the new extensions on WCF 4.0.
Another goal of this guidance was to focus it on real world scenarios. In that spirit, we decided to explain each extensibility using a format that start with an overview of its capabilities, followed by a set of real world scenarios on which developers should consider leveraging that extensibility point. Finally, we provide a detailed explanation of how to implement and configure that specific extensibility area in the WCF runtime.
Kent Brown (WCF Sr. Product Manager) has been the mastermind behind this paper and certainly the person that made this publication possible.
