Writing Smart Clients and Peer to Peer Programming
I don't recall seeing these before but I noticed that there were
two new articles on WCF up on the .NET Framework Developer Center.
The first article is by Juval Lowy on Writing Smart
Clients. Juval talks about
concurrency and synchronization issues in client application. These are important concepts to understand for
UI-based applications because of the ugly consequences of getting threading
wrong when dealing with UI. This article
gives an in-depth explanation for web services of how to avoid the classic
problem of non-responsive applications during a lengthy operation.
The second article is by Amit Bahree and Chris Peiris on Peer-to-Peer
Programming. This article covers the
basics of P2P with a highlight on some of the new features when using Orcas on
Vista.
