---

I'm an experienced developer, but almost all of my development has been focused on the desktop. In the very near future, I'm going to be responsible for creating services (web and otherwise) and will be utilizing WCF with .NET 3.5.

Where should I start? Any recommended books or online guides?

Answer 1

I like the Programming WCF Services by Juval Lowy from O'reilly.

Answer 3

I found Juval Lowy's 'Programming WCF Services' very good but a little hard to understand at times. Another book that was recommend to me by people that have been programming WCF services is a book by Michele Laroux Bustamate; the name of the book is 'Learning WCF: A Hands-on Guide'
