A lap around Windows Presentation Foundation.

Windows Presentation Foundation is the new Microsoft presentation technology for the Windows operating system that provides a unified programming model for building rich Windows smart client user experiences that incorporate user interface (UI), media, and documents. Using Windows Presentation Foundation, you can increase developer-designer productivity and collaboration through Microsoft Visual Studio® development system, Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer, and extensible application markup language (XAML). In this session, we will explore the core concepts of Windows Presentation Foundation programming model, including XAML, layout, controls, resources, styling, and databinding.

A lap around Windows Communication Foundation.

Windows Communication Foundation is the new Microsoft subsystem for building connected systems. This session introduces core features of Windows Communication Foundation: its simple yet universal distributed programming model, its claims-based authorization and federated security, and its exceptionally rich management facilities. We will show you how Windows Communication Foundation makes it practical to build applications that span organizations, incorporating data from diverse remote and local sources. If you want to reduce your development costs by drastically simplifying your distributed programming, or enhance the value proposition of your own applications by leveraging the rich administration facilities of Windows Communication Foundation, then this session is for you.
