.NET 4.0 and Dublin
Earlier this week came the official announcement of the .NET Framework 4.0 and the application server role extensions in Windows Server called Dublin. These are the two products that I've been spending most of my time working on lately. .NET 4.0 obviously encompasses new versions of WCF and WF while Dublin extends the server capabilities of IIS and Windows Server for hosting managed service applications.
Here are the talks at PDC that are going to directly focus on WCF 4.0, WF 4.0, and Dublin, including the new talks in the October session update.
Dublin
Hosting Workflows and Services by Dan Eshner
Hear about extensions being made to Windows Server to provide a feature-rich middle-tier execution and deployment environment for Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications. Learn about the architecture of this new extension, how it works, how to take advantage of it, and the features it provides that simplify deployment, management, and troubleshooting of workflows and services.
WCF 4.0 and WF 4.0
WCF 4.0: Building WCF Services with WF in Microsoft .NET 4.0. by Ed Pinto
Eliminate the tradeoff between ease of service authoring and performant, scalable services. Hear about significant enhancements in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 4.0 and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 4.0 to deal with the ever increasing complexity of communication. Learn how to use WCF to correlate messages to service instances using transport, context, and application payloads. See how the new WF messaging activities enable the modeling of rich protocols. Learn how WCF provides a default host for workflows exposing features such as distributed compensation and discovery. See how service definition in XAML completes the union of WF and WCF with a unified authoring experience that simplifies configuration and is fully integrated with IIS activation and deployment.
WCF: Tips and Tricks for Performance and Scale by Nicholas Allen
Join us for lunch to discuss the different kinds of performance and scale requirements that are a crucial part of any distributed systems development life cycle. Learn great tips from Nicholas Allen on Wndows Communication Foundation (WCF) throughput and responsiveness optimization throughout the lifecycle of a distributed system. Hear about WCF scalability improvements in the next version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
WF 4.0: A First Look by Kenny Wolf
Programs coordinate work. The code for coordination and state management often obscures a program's purpose. Learn how programming with Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 4.0 provides clarity of intent while preserving the functional richness of the .NET framework. See how easy it is to build workflows with the new Visual Studio workflow designer. Learn about text-based authoring options for WF. Hear how WF integrates well with other Microsoft technologies (WCF, WPF, ASP.NET). If you've looked at WF before, come and see the changes to data flow, composition, and new control flow styles. Significant improvements to usability, composability, and performance make Workflow a great fit for a broad range of solutions on both the client and the server.
WF 4.0: Extending with Custom Activities by Matt Winkler
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 4.0 coordinates and manages individual units of work, encapsulated into activities. WF comes with a rich library of activities. Learn how to extend this library by encapsulating your own APIs with custom activities. See how to compose those basic activities into higher level units using rules, flowchart, and state machine control flow styles. Learn how to build your own WF control styles. Learn how to customize and re-host the workflow authoring experience using the new WF designer framework.
