In this tutorial we will learn how to create a female demon gargoyle creature.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the next-generation platform for building connected systems on the Windows platform. WCF makes it possible to build secure, reliable, and transacted services that can be composed into service-oriented applications. WCF makes this easy through a simplified programming model that unifies and improves many of the previous .NET distributed technologies like ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX), Web Services Enhancements (WSE), .NET Remoting, .NET Enterprise Services (COM+), and System.Messaging. Not only is WCF simpler to use than its predecessors, it's also more flexible and highly interoperable thanks to its support for industry standards and protocols like REST, SOAP, and the various WS-* specifications. WCF is sure to change the way every .NET developer builds connected systems in the years ahead. This course covers the system-design features of WCF

Learn how to become productive with the WCF REST Starter Kit. You'll see how to install the WCF REST Starter Kit on your machine, navigate the documentation, samples, and project templates, and you'll see how to quickly get started with a simple RESTful service implementation. We then explore different data representations, resource services, atom and atompub services, as well as POX (plain old XML) services.

This course provides an introduction to WCF. It then covers how to use WCF for the enterprise and for the Web. It covers two aspects all architects and .NET developers need to understand: versioning and serialization.

This course provides an overview of the architecture and technology used to build distributed sytems on the Microsoft platform. The course looks at the general knowledge one needs prior to building a distributed system. There is a focus on design patterns and concepts as well as an overview of the key technologies used by Microsoft .NET developers.

This course covers updates to WCF between 3.5 and 4.0. A number of changes were made to make configuration easier and to better integrate WCF REST with ASP.NET. WCF 4.0 also includes new features to support Discovery and Routing.

In the world of HTML5, mobile devices, and modern development techniques, HTTP has become the default option for building rich, scalable services. The ASP.NET Web API was designed from the ground up to meet the need of developers who want to build HTTP/RESTful services. The API provides an easy-to-use set of default options, while providing a deep extensbility infrastructure to meet the demands of any scenario using HTTP.

This course explains how to develop Integration Services packages with an emphasis on the development of processes that support data warehousing. It begins by describing the overall process of package development, then describes the types of tasks that Integration Services and shows how these tasks can be performed sequentially or in parallel in the control flow by using precedence constraints.

Learning Objective-C can be intimidating for developers looking to learn some Mac OS X or iOS development skills. This course is designed to make that process easy and as painless as possible. We will start at the very basics of the Objective-C programming language and focus on getting a good practical understanding of the language. This course is designed to cover basic topics that can help you to be introduced to the language without being overwhelmed. By then end of this course, you should have the skills you need to understand and write basic Objective-C programs.
