What is WCF?

I am a beginning programmer, and would like to know what WCF actually is.

Maybe this is a stupid question but I can't get it figured out.

I know it's a part of the .NET framework, but is it a way of working? Or is it a piece of code you can implement? or is it an interface?

I understand it is something about working with webservices.

Can anyone explain it to me so it's a bit more clear?

  • Google and MSDN are your friends. It's a communication foundation, means it's low level and allows you to use some base classes or to build yours using what is provided, everything about communications not only web or HTTP based. – Davide Piras Jun 09 '11 at 10:15

It is a framework for communication, focussed on communication in service oriented applications, although it can be used for other types of communication as well.
