Pluralsight has joined forces with the WCF/WF teams at Microsoft to deliver a series of short videos that illustrate how to get started using WCF/WF in your applications. The videos will be hosted on Channel9 within the Screencasts section, and they'll be highlighted on The .NET Endpoint Team Blog and the MSDN Dev Centers for WCF & WF. These videos provide 100-200 level content intended for folks new to the technology or those looking for quick tutorials on how to perform common tasks within each framework.

Cliff Simpkins announced the first video in the WCF series last week — you can find it over here on Channel9. It's called Creating Your First WCF Service. This short video guides you through how to create your first WCF Service from scratch in VS2008 – defining a data contract, a service contract, and testing/hosting the service using the new built-in WCF tools found in VS2008.

A new video will be posted every week in the series…so check back on Channel9 if you're interested! And if you like what you see, you should also check out Pluralsight's new online training system that is currently in beta at the moment. You'll be hearing more about this over the next few months but if you're interested in participating in our early-adopter program, shoot me an email.
