    Give me your tutorials

    I'd like you to reply to this thread with any online tutorials and resources you use when you study or were studying WF, WPF and WCF. I'd like to consolidate all of that into a single sticky which will provide newcomers with links to go to. This can include both MSDN and non-MSDN links as well as starter kits.

    You can also make book recommendations, but not too many please. If you do make a book recommendation, I'd like the Amazon.com link to that book.

    Hey,

    I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I noticed yesterday that there is a new starter kit available for WCF, you can find it here:

    The two video links in my sig, both are sites from MS themselves, they cover things like Data over Forms, Reflection, Layout, etc. As for books, Myself and Chris128 are both using Pro WPF in VB2008 from apress, great book for anyone learning WPF, there is also a C# version. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-WPF-2008...3224352&sr=8-2

    Re: Give me your tutorials

    I was one of the reviewers for this book and found it very well written and would consider it a fine introduction to VB 2008 for any new developer. The sections on WPF and WCF were my first taste and I learned from them. Maybe this is too general for this particular topic but I thought it was worth mentioning.

    Hmm, too specific, but I've added it in as a project that teaches several concepts.

    Re: Give me your tutorials

    I've taken the following:

    http://windowsclient.net/learn/
    http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/4...k=DXRSS_DOTNET
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms750559.aspx
    http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc136536.aspx

    As for the rest, you're on your own. You'll have to find somewhere else to put them, but also live with the fact that nobody is going to find them.

    Re: Give me your tutorials

    Hey,

    This isn't really a tutorial, it's more of a showcase, but thought it might be useful to put on the list:
