WPF and WCF
Two of the newer technologies we have recently been incorporating have been Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
WPF provides a means of quickly assembling the user interface for an application using a markup language similar to HTML. For multi-tier applications, WPF allows the presentation layer to be separated from the business logic and data access layer in a straightforward way.
WCF offers a framework for applications to communicate with each other, whether across the company network or the internet. By abstracting some of the communication details, programs can be built that send real-time or queued information for applications such as instant messaging, live searching or other interactive data communication.
