Dear all,

I have nearly complete a compact document for a WCF training session based on different information found on MSDN and my own experience.
The training is covering the basic approach of WCF and will be 3 days training with exercices.

I have a last chapter which should normally cover WCF transaction and I was wondering if this transaction topic should be part of this basic training.
Microsoft in official overwiew as include it but I was wondering if for the transaction may be talking about it and then include instead a chapter on WCF and REST as we are talking more and more on this.

What do you think ?

Thnaks for your comment
regards
serge

Hi Serge,

When WCF is first released in .NET 3.0, most trainings contains the transactions part and the REST/web programming model is still not provided at that time. After .NET 3.5, REST/web programming model is added and many trainings will include REST/web programming. So you can consider the following plan:

** If you want to provide a training including WCF from .NET 3.0 to 3.5, I think REST/web programming will be more attractive than transaction

** If the training is just focus on the WCF of .NET 3.0, no REST/web programming is needed then.

And this is the channel 9 collection of REST videos- http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/REST/.
You can pick and choose some basic ones.

I would as well go for REST than transactions if I were to choose one of them for a training.
