Eventually
Well eventually I get back round to updating this!!
Had a busy old Christmas holiday,eventually got round to installing Vista which was *fairly* painless, only my ancient scanner refused to play ball so that's not too bad! I do find the file dialog a bit weird but I'm sure I'll get used to it....
Just downloaded an Orcas CTP, yes I know I should have done it a while back but family life has dicated otherwise! Have done lots of reading around and it's about time I did some coding on the platform! Have seen some more stuff on LINQ on MSDN this morning so going to take a look at that over the weekend.
Think I'm going to buy Chris Sells & Ian Griffiths Windows Presentation Foundation book from O'Reilly, I was fortunate to have Ian as a trainer on a Developmentor .NET 2.0 course, very knowledgeable techinically and a top bloke to boot:)
On the WCF front I think Juval Löwy's book, Programming WCF Services: Rough Cuts Version , is on the cards too, have got his .NET components book and that was dam good stuff!!
Will hopefully get the Orcas stuff up and running by the end of the week fingers crossed!!
