Day 1 was good. There are only 16 people in the class (2 Microsofties, and 2 former Microsofties, myself included) which is nice for personal attention and discussion. Today we reviewed SO, Web Services and the existing technology stack (ASMX 2.0, WSE 3.0). A lot of it was just tablesetting and laying the justification groundwork for WCF, WF and BizTalk. Near the end of the day we started on some BizTalk 2006, which will flow into tomorrow (about 1 hour left of the lab). Aaron Skonnard was our instructor. I love listening to people who are passionate and knowledgable about a topic. Some of the more intresting comments were:
- ".Net Remoting has the least optimistic future of the communication models (ASMX, WSE, Enterprise Services, Remoting & MSMQ)"
- It would be really interesting to see a WCF Channel for SQL Service Broker
- The REST vs. SOAP debate: one thing in favor of SOAP is the existing tools (which is likely why Google chose SOAP for their SOAP Search API and not REST
- Contract first vs. Code first for web services; typically collaberation drives contract first and smaller projects tend to migrate toward code first
I'm really looking forward to Day 2 which will cover WCF.
Early bedtime tonight! :)
