Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Screencasts

On this page you will find many videos designed for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) developers of all levels, from the novice to the seasoned professional. The videos are intended as a complement to the articles and code samples available, to help express concepts to those who prefer watching how something is done over reading about it.

WCF REST Starter Kit

The WCF REST Starter Kit is a set of features, Visual Studio templates, samples and guidance that enable users to create REST style services using WCF. It provides features that enable or simplify various aspects of using the http capabilities in WCF, such as caching, security, error handling, help page support, conditional PUT, push style streaming, type based dispatch and semi-structured XML support. The WCF REST Starter Kit also provides Visual Studio templates for creating REST style services such as an Atom feed service, a REST-RPC hybrid service, Resource singleton and collection services and an Atom Publishing Protocol service. In addition, there are samples, documentation and other guidance that help to use these new capabilities.
