We took a small step on removing some of the registration pages from our on-demand webcasts. If you view most of the recent (past two years) on-demand MSDN or TechNet webcasts on our Webcast Series landing page you’ll notice that the number of clicks it takes to view the webcast went down from seven to just three. Our goal will be to get it down to one.

So why’s this taking so long? I was hoping to get this done months ago, but trying to fix the problem within the existing infrastructure has proven to be frustrating and perplexing. This is a temporary workaround as we work on pulling our content onto new servers and building new landing pages that we hope will make finding the content much easier. So if you view the webcasts through some of our other MSDN and TechNet pages, or using the Search box you might still have to go through the standard registration process but it should be fine using this site. I like these series landing pages anyway as the best way to surf our webcast content. < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Try it out. Let me know your thoughts…

MSDN Webcast: Transactional Windows Communication Foundation Services with Juval Lowy (Level 200)

Transactions are the key to building robust, high quality service-oriented applications. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides a simple, declarative transaction support for service developers, enabling you to configure parameters such as enlistment and voting, all outside the scope of your service. In addition, WCF allows client applications to create transactions and to propagate transactions across service boundaries over a variety of transports. In this webcast, we explain how to configure transaction flow at the binding, contract, and service level, local versus distributed transactions, setting of service transactions, declarative voting, and the available configurations that best fit various application scenarios. Presenter: Juval Lowy, Principal and Software Architect, IDesign

MSDN Webcast: Using Windows Workflow Foundation to Build Services with Jon Flanders (Level 300)

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a programming model, set of tools, and runtime environment which allows you to write declarative and reactive programs for Windows operating systems. WF is part of the Microsoft .NET Runtime, and it first appeared in Microsoft .NET 3.0. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is also a programming model, set of tools, and a runtime that first appeared in .NET 3.0. WCF is a framework for building applications that can communicate with each other over varied network protocols. In .NET 3.5, these programming models came closer together to allow easy integration, including allowing WF instances to use WCF to communicate to remote endpoints and allowing WF instances to become the service implementation for WCF endpoints. This is accomplished by two new Activities: ReceiveActivity and SendActivity as well as a new hosting infrastructure for service endpoints. In this webcast, we look at both sides of this integration to give you an overview of how to build WF/WCF applications. Presenter: Jon Flanders, Consultant, Pluralsight

MSDN Webcast: WCF Extensibility Deep Dive with Jesus Rodriguez (Level 400)

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides a rich messaging framework that extends beyond its capabilities for modeling and implementing services. One of the aspects where WCF really shines when compared with competitive Web services stacks is its rich extensibility model that allows developers to customize the default behavior of the framework. The better we understand the WCF extensibility model the better chance we have to make the right use of WCF in real-world applications. In this webcast, we dive deeply into the WCF extensibility model, detailing the different extensibility points of WCF subsystems such as Channels, Hosting, Security, Metadata, Encoding, and others. Specifically, we provide practical demonstrations of how custom channels, behaviors, operation invokers, authorization managers, and metadata extensions can be used to extend WCF effectively without affecting the consistency of the programming model. We also highlight a set of best practices developers should consider to address their specific scenarios properly when extending WCF. Presenter: Jesus Rodriguez, Chief Architect, Tellago, Inc.

MSDN Webcast: Introducing Application Lifecycle Management with Agile and Visual Studio Team System 2008 (Level 200)

Development teams that desire to work more effectively with business stakeholders, reduce development errors, and lower application development costs are quickly adopting the principles of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). Though there are innumerable ways to deploy an ALM strategy, Agile development practices help achieve the most benefits for the majority of projects. Practices from the Agile community are well defined and easy to understand, and an Agile process template is already included as a part of the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) / Team Foundation Server (TFS) toolset to accelerate Agile implementation. In this webcast, we provide a background on ALM concepts, we discuss the benefits of the agile practices included in the VSTS/TFS Agile process template, and we provide some best practices for organization-wide rollout and adoption.
