Description:
Silverlight is a client-side technology. So it’s not really a part of your SOA strategy, right?
You may want to think twice about that. SOAP and WSDL support are coming to the web desktop via Silverlight.
And Silverlight has good client support for REST+ JSON/POX and RSS/ATOM-based web services, too.
During this discussion, we’ll dive into data serialization, security and cross-domain access policy capabilities inside Silverlight 2 Beta 2.
We also talk about the nuances and pitfalls of provisioning your web services for an Internet audience.
This presentation will be heavy on coding, demonstration and interactive discussion.
There is no charge for this event and everyone is invited. Food and beverages will be provided.
