.NET Virtual Meetup – ‘From WCF to gRPC’

Our first Guest Speaker will be Mark Rendle. Mark is a Microsoft Azure Development MVP and a well known speaker – his career in software design and development spans three decades and more programming languages than he can remember.

C# has been his favourite language pretty much since the first public beta, when you had to write the code in a text editor and compile it on the command line.

Things vying for Mark’s attention lately include .NET Core, Docker and all the new things on the Azure Cloud platforms.

Mark will be speaking on “From WCF to gRPC”.

gRPC is a high-performance messaging protocol that is ideal for communication between microservices and other clients on internal networks. It’s the ideal replacement for WCF or .NET Remoting, which are not supported on .NET Core.

In this talk, he will explain the different models that gRPC enables, from Request/Response to full bi-directional streaming, and how they map to various WCF models. He’ll show how to create gRPC services and clients using the dotnet CLI, and share best practices for using them in the real world.
