A few months back I published a document on my web site entitled "Understanding WCF Services in Silverlight 2".  I wrote this document so people could have a solid understand of how to use WCF as well as some of the core WCF best practices.  The document explains everything from data contracts to service contracts, from asynchronous communication to SSL security, and from fault management to JSON communication.  It did this for both .NET as well as Silverlight.

Well, goodness, it's definitely met my expectations.  It's quickly become the absolute top most traffic mover on my web site.  It even flew by my JavaScript Graphics Development publication, which was a traffic mover very hard to beat.  The document also ended up on the Microsoft WCF homepage for three months and... a Senior Program Manager of the Connected Systems division even asked me to speak at the Mix conference on the topic of the document (of course I turned him down... it's just so much easier NOT to speak at a conference.)

So, thanks to everyone to came to the web site to read the document online or to download the PDF or XPS version of it.  Thanks also to everyone who left positive feedback on the web site.  Apparently, the document really has helped a lot of people in their pursuit to understand WCF better.  As I expected (well, as I knew!), people are sick and tired of the same old boring drag-n-drop videos and template-based file creation nonsense which prohibits the actual learning of the technology.

Given the absolutely astounding lack of respect and gratitude I get in person, the comments from the web site have gone a long way in helping convince me that I should continue my research and publication of this type of material.  It's my hope that people continue to find benefit in my research and continue to take the time to drop me a line telling me it was helpful.
