Learning WCF

What is WCF?
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework for building service-oriented applications.
It is a unified, simplified and optimized evolution of a number of communication technologies into a single  model. [Ref: MSDN]

 Why it is important?
  • Enables you to create service oriented applications. 
  • Provide a unified way to communicate with different system.
  • Developers can focus on designing  data and service contracts without having to make prior decisions on which transport, messaging or security protocols and policies to adopt.
  • Allows one to configure service properties such as transport (http/pipes/tcp/Tibco EMS), security models (any of the W3C standards), compression, encoding, timeouts, etc, without changing ANY code.

I thought she understand my words
I didn’t know she’s unkind
…
Though gone, but still
I am full of her love
Her thought is always with me
Wherever I go, she is in front of my eyes, in front of my eyes
I want to stand out

But it is not possible, There is no way
I cannot bear
I cannot bear

The person who was the only person I had,
was the only refuge of my lonely heart,
Left me alone and went from my side
I am restless form the pain of her separation

sings love song for me
I thought she understand my words
I didn’t know she’s unkind
…
Though gone, but still
