- Summary
In this chapter, we have learned some basic concepts of WCF. The key points in this chapter include the following:
- WCF is a better technology for developing SOA services
- A WCF service has at least one service endpoint
- A WCF service endpoint has an address, a binding, and a service contract
- A WCF service can be self-hosted, or can be hosted in a managed or an unmanaged application
- A WCF service can publish metadata, and communicates with client applications through channels
- .NET framework 3.0 or above is required to develop and run WCF service applications
- Visual Studio 2008 is the preferred IDE for WCF service application development
