Focusing on the service-oriented architecture (SOA), this comprehensive guide delves into Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and its significance in development. It explores advanced features introduced in .NET 4.0, such as service discovery and simplified configuration. The book provides practical examples to facilitate understanding of concepts like reliable messaging, security, and peer-to-peer programming. Additionally, it offers strategies for transitioning existing .NET remoting and web service applications to WCF, addressing real enterprise challenges effectively.
A debut short story collection that explores the vulnerability, grit, and complex nature of our humanity from a new, vital queer voice. A yacht races to outrun a tsunami. A young man jailed on a drug charge forms a relationship with his cellmate that is by turns tender and brutal. A family buys a rural slaughterhouse, and tensions with their religious neighbors quickly escalate. A teen raised by his eccentric gay father, a Turkish immigrant, finds his life fractured by violence. A fictionalized Coretta Scott King, surveilled and harassed by the FBI, considers the costs of her life with her husband. Here Is What You Do is a bravura, far-ranging collection, its stories linked by sorrow and latent hope, each one drilling toward its characters’ darkest emotional centers. In muscularly robust prose, with an unfailing eye for human drives and frailties, Chris Dennis captures the raw need, desire, cruelty, and promise that animate our lives.
