Juwal Lowy[idesign.net] was presenting:
Demonstrating WCF – beyond the endpoints.
Pretty impressive stuff they made at MS… Not ‘superior’, but certainly some of that is very clever :)
Juval actually presses the point that all this impressive stuff should be used not as high-level service endpoints, but expanded down to the application scaffolding, replacing all the ‘plumbing’ :)
When asked about possible performance problems, avoided answering it until I dropped the subject :)
keywords: WCF, service contracts, versioning, singleton across the galaxy, fault isolation per class level, build-in concurrency management, MQML, performance throttling through app.config
books: “Programming WCF Services” by Juval Lowy. O’Reilly 2007

Tool: .NET, WCF
Conclusion: Clever marketing, disguised as a programming workshop
Worth speaking to this person again? Definitely yes!
