.NET Distributed Applications Using C#

Prerequisites : 0

Course Length: 3 days

Course Description

This course provides a realistic, hands-on coverage of developing distributed applications using .NET and C#. It covers Web services in depth and introduces .NET Remoting. Web services are an evolving series of standards that enable programs on various computers to communicate with other programs on similar or disparate computers transparently over the Internet. .NET remoting enables a .NET client to interact with a .NET component in a different application domain, which may be hosted on a different computer. This course teaches in detail the skills needed to program Web services using ASP.NET. It also examines the fundamentals of SOAP and WSDL essential for creating interoperable Web services. The course is current to .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005, with coverage of new features such as the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1, SOAP 1.2, event pattern for calling Web services asynchronously, and more. It also includes an introduction to Web Service Enhancements (WSE) 3.0.
