Building Rich Internet Applications (RIA) can be difficult. Validation, asynchronous calls and authentication are just some of the considerations you need to make when developing client-server applications. This is where the WCF RIA Services come to the rescue by simplifying these tasks!
This is the session presented at DevDays 2010 and walks you through creating a line-of-business application from end-to-end using Visual Studio 2010, Silverlight and ASP.Net along with the WCF RIA Services platform. We demonstrate how validation can flow from the server to the client, how asynchronous operations can be abstracted away, how to easily implement authentication and much more.
So how do you get started with WCF RIA Services? Well firstly you will need some of the tools:
1. Visual Studio 2010
2. WCF RIA Services RC
3. WCF RIA Services Toolkit
Now you are all setup and ready to go! The video from DevDays should be released soon but if you want to get started now go ahead and check out some of the getting started videos at the Silverlight site
