WCF Essentials Article Series

Over on MSDN, Michele Bustamante will be doing a biweekly series called WCF Essentials on best practices and how to use WCF. The first two introductory articles are available now.

Getting Started with WCF (an introduction to the WCF Essentials series): This section will serve as a summary of the steps you will take to design, implement, host and consume WCF services. The purpose is not to explain the details behind each design choice or feature- but to make you aware that these are things you should consider. Later sections of this whitepaper will provide recommendations to narrow the choices you face.

WCF Templates and Tools: This section summarizes the available project templates, when to use each; and discusses the limitations and benefits of the core WCF tools.
