geekSpeak: Windows Communication Foundation as the New .NET

The geekSpeak webcast series brings you industry experts in a "talk-radio" format hosted by Developer Evangelists from Microsoft. These experts share their knowledge and experience about a particular developer technology and are ready to answer your questions in real time during the webcast.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides off-the-shelf plumbing for connecting services together. The more granular the services are the more use the application makes of the WCF infrastructure and the less plumbing the developers have to write. Taken to the ultimate conclusion, every class and primitive should be a service to maximize the use of the ready-made infrastructure and to avoid handcrafting plumbing. In theory, this enables effortless transactional integers, secure strings, and reliable classes. However, is it viable in practice? Can Microsoft .NET support it? Will future platforms offer this option? In this geekSpeak webcast, industry expert Juval Lowy shares his thoughts on the state of the industry, what is practical and feasible today, and the future of the platform.
