Summary
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
At PDC09 Microsoft announced the new Windows Server AppFabric. Windows Server AppFabric is a set of integrated technologies that make it easier to build, scale and manage Web and composite applications that run on IIS. For Web applications, AppFabric provides caching capabilities to provide high-speed access, scale, and high availability to application data. This feature was previously codenamed "Velocity". For composite applications, AppFabric makes it easier to build and manage services built using Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation. This feature was previously codenamed "Dublin." Now people are asking, what exactly is AppFabric and how will it change the way you build applications in the future? In this talk you will get the answers to this and many other questions about AppFabric, Windows Workflow 4 and WCF.
