New Features in WCF 4 that will Instantly Make you More Productive
 
Windows Communication Foundation has proven itself as a powerful and productive framework for addressing the myriad of messaging scenarios common in today’s distributed application landscape. WCF 3.0 introduced the unified programming model with a focus on SOAP messaging and WCF 3.5 shortly followed adding support for REST. In this talk, we’ll take a look at some of the new features in WCF 4.0 which will ship with the .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. While not a comprehensive review, we’ll take a look at the new simplified configuration options for getting your services up and running in no time, support for WS-Discovery which allows your services to be discovered by other clients and services, as well as basic routing capabilities that allow messages to be delivered to multiple recipients based on routing rules.
