Angle Brackets Are Dead. Long Live XML.
Many people fail to realize that XML can be used to represent many formats beyond the standard text xml encoding that most people recognize. So, I wrote a little post about how WCF takes advantage of this idea to illustrate what is possible when you change the way you think about XML. http://blog.iserviceoriented.com/index.php/2010/02/07/angle-brackets-are-dead-long-live-xml/

Building a Simple Web Server With WCF
Tired of seeing a million examples of using REST support in WCF (which blows) and not a single example that goes beyond the basics everyone knows. So, I wrote a simple web server today using WCF and blogged about it:

Back in Action
Everyone keeps asking me to start blogging again... so I'm finally doing it. I'm back in action after a year or so off from blogging. Been working with WCF 24/7 since joining the Neuron ESB Team and have plenty of WCF tricks to share.

Indisposable: WCF Gotcha #1
When you have the code behind the service ready to go, you deploy it to the server of your choice and are ready to call the service. At this point, you will most likely do one of two things to consume the service: Create a ChannelFactory and reuse your interface, or use the "Add Service Reference..." option inside Visual Studio.
