AI Thread Summary
When designing an app that utilizes WCF to pull data from a server, selecting the right server is crucial, especially with an anticipated user base of around 10,000. For a straightforward application focused on data retrieval—such as schedules and names—using Internet Information Services (IIS) is a viable option. It's important to consider the specific needs of the application when choosing a server. For further guidance on hosting and consuming WCF services, resources like MSDN can provide valuable insights, despite some content being outdated.

I want to design an app and will use WCF to pull data from a server, but I need to know how to pick the server to use. I am hoping to have about 10K people ( many be more) using this app. and they will be pulling data from this server. NO video nor audio file, just data like school , Schedule, times, name datas.

so how do I pick a server ?

The choice and combination(s) you can make is dependent on the application at hand. One option for a simple app like the one you describe would be to use IIS.
For more info about hosting and consuming WCF Services you can take a look at MSDN. The article is somewhat old but you'll get the hang of it.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
