I am learning .Net Network Programming. I am in confusion. I read at various places that WCF is replacement of Web Services, WCF is the replacement of Remoting.

IS IT RIGHT THAT WCF IS THE REPLACEMENT OF WEB SERVICES,.NET REMOTING AND SOCKET PROGRAMMING?

If it is true then why should we have to learn so much scenerios if it all can be accomplished in the only one section that is WCF!!

These were three modes of communication.
WCF is a single concept that defines bindings to do each of these tasks.

You need to learn what type of communication is required for you and then use the appropriate bindings in WCF.
