I've been meaning to look into WCF programming - just haven't had the time. Now, at least, I have a list of articles et.al. to get me up to speed. Thanks Joe! Windows Communication Foundation - 65 Links to make you an expert!

This is my first post to Windows Live Space. You may have found me here, but my main location is at Gilleland.info. I also have a number of web sites that I run (all of which are built on DotNetNuke): Dynamic Generation Inc. - This is my part-time business, where I mostly develop web sites based on DotNetNuke (although, I do other IT development work as well). TryDNN.com - On this site, I plan to add articles for the general masses about how to get up and running with DotNetNuke. Gilleland.info - This (as mentioned) is my personal site. It's quite a bit rough around the edges, and (eventually) I'll build a better skin, but hey - I only have so much time in my life! Computer Systems Technology (CST) - This is where I teach computer programming full time (at NAIT). I have my own staff site as well, and since most of my writing is related to my teaching, this is where a lot of my on-line posting energy is going of late. BTW, CST is also the program that I graduated from (CST Diploma, Honours, 1998). The list above isn't complete, but it's a highlight of the major ones I'm running. Also, BTW, I'm writing this post using Windows Live Writer, which I've gotten into because of how well I can write offline and still post to my DotNetNuke (DNN) websites. I much prefer to write off-line and then publish, and now that I'm using metaPost for DotNetNuke, my "publishing chain" is complete. I'll probably write a bit more about metaPost in another blog.
