What’s a tradeshow for developer ninjas look like? It’s big and it only looks easy—what better place for a gathering of code warriors than America’s most magical city, a shape-shifting world between water and land terraforming itself into the twenty-first century. DevProConnections is at TechEd in New Orleans with you. Slip on over to our booth, meet our editors, and pick up copies of our magazine.
It’s an exciting time to be a .NET business developer. Microsoft is paying a lot of attention to you with new releases of Visual Studio, .NET, and Silverlight. The partner ecosystem is exploding with new products. Adding to the excitement DevProConnections, Windows IT Pro, SQL Server Magazine, and SharePointPro Connections magazine will be conducting our annual Best of TechEd Awards.
Windows Communication Foundation—Ninjas By Design
Juval Lowy is our guest editor and our special focus is on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). In his guest editorial, “The Missing Link,” Lowy, a software architect specializing in .NET architecture consulting and advanced training, discusses the importance of the design phase for projects deploying any of the Microsoft foundation technologies along with .NET.
Feature Articles: The June issue examines a number of facets of WCF.
- The cover story by Shy Cohen, an independent expert, gives us a practical look at using WCF with jQuery.
- In “WCF and the Access Control Service,” regular columnist Michele Bustamante looks at custom components and code for securing REST-based WCF services.
- In “Creating Custom WCF Behaviors,” Zoiner Tejada shows you how you can implement and leverage custom service and endpoint behaviors to extend or configure the functionality of your WCF Services.
