Introducing the .NET Framework 3.0

The latest version of the .NET Framework introduced is the .NET Framework 3.0. This version of the framework brings forth some dramatic new capabilities. Included in this version is the ability to build a new application type using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) as well as applications and libraries based on the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows CardSpace.

These additions are what constitute the .NET Framework 3.0, as this version of the Framework installs and works from the previous .NET Framework 2.0. This book includes numerous chapters focused on the new technologies brought forth by the .NET Framework 3.0.
