In this screen cast he will show how an array can be broken down into a series of smaller data pieces having many identical tasks running in parallel work on their own specific piece of the data. Whilst there are scenarios were each task can run in isolation its often found that these various tasks need to co-operate around the edges of their specific pieces. Andy will demonstrate two ways of solving this problem. One utilising pure Parallel.ForEach and another utilising the new Barrier type. http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/RoutingServiceIntro.mp4 http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/RoutingServiceIntro.mp4 07 January 2010 2010-01-07T01:00:00 WCF 4.0 - Introducing the Routing Service, Richard introduces a new feature of WCF 4.0 called the routing service and shows how it can be used to bridge different network protocols http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/RoutingService2.mp4 http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/RoutingService2.mp4 01 March 2010 2010-03-01T01:00:00 WCF 4.0 - Multicast and Failover with the Routing Service, Richard continues his exploration a new feature of WCF 4.0 called the routing service and shows how it can be used provide multicast and failover to services without changing the client http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/DataDependentRouting.mp4 http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/DataDependentRouting.mp4 02 March 2010 2010-03-02T01:00:00 WCF 4.0 - Data Dependent Routing with the Routing Service, Richard continues his exploration a new feature of WCF 4.0 called the routing service and shows how to achieve data dependent routing (sending the message to different places based on data in or about the message) using the routing service http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/CustomFilters.mp4 http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/CustomFilters.mp4 08 March 2010 2010-03-08T01:00:00 WCF 4.0 - Using Custom Filters with the Routing Service, Richard looks at plugging your own routing logic into the WCF 4.0 Routing Service using a custom message filter http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/AdvancedFilters.mp4 http://rocksolidknowledge.blob.core.windows.net/mp4/AdvancedFilters.mp4 10 March 2010 2010-03-10T01:00:00 WCF 4.0 - Using Advanced Filters with the Routing Service, Richard looks at using a custom message filter to plug complex routing logic into the WCF 4.0 Routing Service.
