• Learn to build a simple WCF service and client.
• Learn to create and configure a service as a managed application and select an appropriate hosting option.
• Learn to expose a WCF service over different endpoints and add run-time functionality by using behaviors.
• Learn to improve debugging capabilities by examining messages and service activity.
• Learn to define service, operation, and data contracts to meet application requirements.
• Learn to add error handling to a WCF application.
• Learn to address service quality issues such as performance, availability, concurrency, and instance management.
• Learn to implement security in a WCF application.
• Learn to protect data integrity through correct use of transactions.
