Doing asynchronous distributed request/response service calls without WCF
In my previous blog post I hopefully was able to demonstrate how low the entry barrier is to asynchronous remote communication. It´s as easy as hosting a service like this

Easy remote communication without WCF
If you´ve read my previous posts about why I deem WCF more of a problem than a solution and how I think we should switch to asynchronous only communication in distributed application, you might be wondering, how this could be done in an easy way.

Becoming asynchronous – The first step towards distributed applications
In my previous blog post I argued WCF was not the most usable and most easy to learn way for communication in distributed applications. This is due to its focus on synchronous communication (even though you can do asynchronous communication as well).

WCF is not the solution but the problem
The title of this post has caught your attention? So let me explain what I mean by it: I think WCF is great. It´s the best communication framework Microsoft ever has come up with. WCF solves a lot of problems of its predecessors, it is tremendously extensible, and it supports the main communication paradigms (sync, async, P2P). WCF certainly is a solution of some kind.
