I love playing computer games (probably a little too much).  Of course when you first get started you are the guy who gets killed all the time because you don't know what you are supposed to do or where the secret stash is.  After a while of playing and tips from other players you shed your "noobness" and become one of those guys who beats up on all the noobs in the game.  So what does this have to do with work?  Great question!

I can't help but think with so many new technologies that my head wants to explode that many of you, like me, feel like a total noob.  I just spent the last few months coming up to speed on Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation and there were many times that I felt I should just know these things.  But there are many new concepts and techniques to learn so I struggled through reading large books until I began to get a grip.

If you feel like a noob, don't be a ashamed... Now you can do something about it.  Today I'm introducing "The Total Noobs Guide to WCF".    This is a bit of an experiment and it also marks my return to the world of podcasting.  Check it out and let me know what you think - it's only 16 minutes long. 

Noobs of the world - you can't help it.  Everyone is a noob at some point.  Just don't stay that way...

    Hi Ron, This is a brilliant series! It is very easy to digest and learn about WCF in small steps. Can we look forward to something similar for Windows Workflow, too? Best regards, Paul

    Great! Over the years I've really enjoyed your various podcasts, hearing you speak at the pnp summit, and reading articles in other media. I've always apprecitaed not only learning new technologies and development techniques, but also appreciate your insights and how you give us the bigger picture. So please accept this as a thanks for your generosity and for your commitment in giving back to the community. Cheers!
