	Windows Communication Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a WCF process communicates with a non–WCF process, XML-based encoding is used for the SOAP messages but when it communicates with another WCF process, the SOAP messages are encoded in an optimized binary format.
		WCF is designed in accordance with Service oriented architecture principles to support Distributed computing where services are consumed by consumers.
		WCF also supports non-blocking calls as well as use of the services by passing messages containing the data to be used by the service.

	Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
		The Windows Communication Foundation (previously codenamed "Indigo") is Microsoft's unified framework for building secure, reliable, transacted, and interoperable distributed applications.
		The WCF bits in the September CTP of the.NET Framework 3.0 were very, very close to the final bits that we ended up releasing and had the version number 3.0.4506.03 Between the September CTP and the RTM version, we only took a very small number of fixes...
		The Windows Communication Foundation is now available in its release version as part of the.NET Framework 3.0.

	Book Review: Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation: Hands-on!
		If you've been paying attention at all, you know that Windows Communication Foundation (more commonly known as WCF to cut down on needless overuse of electrons), formerly "Indigo," which used to be a part of WinFX, is now a part of the recently re-christened.NET Framework 3.0.
		Though the book is based on the January 2006 CTP of WCF, which is already outdated, this doesn't make is useless (though it occasionally makes it confusing, where terminology or capabilities have changed).
		The lead author is keeping a set of updates on his weblog as newer versions of the software are released.

	Microsoft: Upgrade your Web services technology \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2006-06-13 \| By Paul Krill
		WCF features unified technology stacks and also is positioned to better enable interoperability and service orientation, which is a phrase that Microsoft technologists substitutes for the term SOA.
		But WCF combines these technologies and dramatically reduces the amount of code that needs to be written for Web services to just a few lines.
		Currently available in a beta form, WCF is due in a general release version as part of the Windows Vista operating system, which is scheduled to ship in 2007.

	The Windows Communication Foundation: A Primer
		With WCF you won't have to choose between implementations in a variety of different namespaces and coding types to create a connected application.
		WCF follows the "software as a service" model, where all units of functionality are defined as services.
		WCF takes this popular and successful methodology for defining how services work and extends it to work with the other forms of communication: Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ), Enterprise Services, COM+, and.NET Remoting.

		As he points out, there is a huge difference between the programming model and the messages it consumes/produces.
		The programming model is still evolving but yes, it's a Windows technology to “serialize” and Interop a CLR object model over standard WS-* messages.
		This is, in fact, what the CLR already did for Windows programming.

	HNS - Security in Windows Communication Foundation
		Windows Communication Foundation performs a lot of the heavy lifting to make it easier for your service to provide the basic security features that most distributed systems need.
		The big three protections— confidentiality, integrity, and authentication (or CIA as I like to think of them) are provided by most standard Windows® Communication Foundation bindings.
		If you don't want these protections, you'll have to turn them off, because they are on by default.
