Essential WCF On Its Way!

Rich Crane — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:21:37 GMT

We (Steve, Chris, and I) can finally say that Essential Windows Communication Foundation will be available soon. It took almost two years to complete (yes, a very long time). One major takeaway from the experience "Writing a book is extremely hard work." I personally spent many days and nights at Starbucks in many different cities (Austin, Acton, Concord, Westford, New York, Seattle, Redmond, and many more) writing the book. It was a great way to focus on the task at hand. After all the time spent, we are happy that you will soon be able to get the book. It is already available for pre-order on Amazon.

My goal is that everyone who reads Essential WCF will learn something new about WCF. Steve had a great comment about the book.

"... we wrote it for people like you - who need clear explanations and straight-forward examples. No theory, no futures; just the facts."

We are happy to be releasing it and think it will help many people write great WCF applications using both .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5.

I just put WinFxProgrammer.com online. This site will be the start of my online endeavors outside of blogs.msdn.com. The site will contain mostly WinFx related material, but for now has a number of things already posted to my blog. While I need to speak to my publisher first, it is my hope that I will place excerpts from a book on Windows Communication Foundation that I am co-authoring.
