Implementing SOA with .NET 3.5 using ASP.NET + WS + WCF + WWF in N-tiers

Next, I’m going to explain  how to implement SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) in N-tiers using only Visual Studio 2008 (without BizTalk Server or another service-orchestration-server).

We’re going to use ASP .NET Web Forms for presentation layer, ASP.NET Web Services for XML-encode layer, a WCF Service (Windows Communication Foundation) - hosting multiples endpoints - for distribution layer, and two class libraries: a class library for business layer and another class library for data layer. In addition, we’re going to incorporate a WWF (Windows Workflow Foundation) monitor for supervise our WCF Service in real-time.

This is the first part of five parts of this tutorial.

Knowledge Interchange is Better

I'm a software engineer expert in Microsoft development technologies (well, maybe not-so-expert) that want to help another software engineers, system analysts, programmers or IT people that needs, and also publish solutions to common problems about new technologies. 

If you have a question/problem about ASP.NET, AJAX, C#, VB .NET, SQL Server, Web-development, etc. then I can help you, count on me. 

If you want share you experience (good or bad) with specific technologies, you can do it here.

Just ask. Feel free to post of anything about development.

Welcome!
