MSDN Webcast: 24 Hours of Windows Mobile Application Development: WCF Development and Mobile Devices (Level 300) (04/20/2009 07:50 PM)
|
Please join us for this week's MSDN as part of the 24-Hours of Windows Mobile Application Development series. On Wednesday, April 22, Nickolas Landry, MVP and Principal Architect of Infusion Development will WCF Development and Mobile Devices. Communicating
with the server-side and the rest of your corporate network infrastructure is a key aspect of any mobile smart client application that lives within a distributed enterprise architecture. However, mobile devices aren't always on the Web or docked into the corporate
network. Therefore your applications have to handle a range of scenarios for transferring data to and from the home office during times when a connection is available and storing information locally when a connection is not available. Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF) provides a unified programming model for building connected applications with managed code on the desktop and the server. Thanks to the WCF extensible channel architecture, mobile devices can also participate and leverage WCF, but only a subset
of the full WCF model is supported. This session explores the similarities and the differences in building mobile communications infrastructures using Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and WCF. Through live demos using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and other
mobile tools, we?ll cover the WCF programming model and available layers, the supported channels, integrating with the desktop and server-side, see how to cover the lack of device addressability, the role of Microsoft Exchange 2007, e-mail and AirSync, extensibility
points, security and more. If you think you know everything about WCF, think again?mobile devices are also part of the enterprise equation and you need to learn how to reach out to them.
