Books and tutorials on Windows Services in C#?

Question

I was wondering why there is such a shortage of books and/or tutorials for implementing Windows Services. How are people learning to create windows services, if there are not many resources out there? Is there some obvious resource that I might have missed?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There aren't many books because writing a Windows Service in C# is quite trivial. There isn't much more to it than this.

The Windows Service code should just be a thin layer to bootstrap the functionality you wish to expose as a service.

For the same reason you don't find many books on writing console applications in C#.
