How to start using WCF/WPF?

Question

I\'ve been using .net for quite some time, and everywhere I interview these days, I keep getting asked about my knowledge with .NET 3.0/3.5 technologies (WF, WPF, WCF etc.)<

Answer 1

"Learning WCF" by Michele Leroux Bustamante is an excellent book for understanding and beginning with WCF especially if you like to learn hands-on with labs.

The good news is that the author of the book published the first chapter as PDF file in her BLOG. This chapter explains the basic concepts of WCF and SOA clearly and also provides some labs to teach the basic techniques of WCF. In my opinion this book is the best way to start with WCF because it's very well written and the labs are fun.
