Assuming familiarity with Visual Basic or C#, this training kit explains how to build service-oriented applications composed of services that communicate only by exchanging messages. The 26 lessons walk through creating and configuring a WCF service, implementing a client for a WCF service, administering security at the transport and user levels, and performing end-to-end tracing on a WCF application.
