I am planning to write a series of articles on WCF(windows communication foundation). This is my first one in the series.

Title says it all. Shows how simple it is the host a WCF service in a console app. Not a practical use of course, but a good exercise for beginners.

Short and simple walkthrough on creating and testing a WCF web service in visual studio 2012 using the WCF Test Client. Introductory style post for those unfamiliar with WCF.

High level intro to what WCF is and why it came to be. Part one in a multi part series to bring anyone still unfamiliar with the technology up to speed and able to create a few services of their own.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and .NET Framework 4.5 will be available on 15 August.

The article is a collection of most frequently asked questions about Windows Communication Foundation covering the beginner level.
