This is the first video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series.

In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to create your first WCF Service. The screencast walks you through creating the service from scratch in VS2008 - defining a data contract, a service contract, and testing/hosting the service in VS2008.

For additional information on WCF, please check out the WCF Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.

Downloaded the wmv and played on VLC on Mac OS X  - no problem at all.  Excellent intro to WCF, I really liked this screencast.

How far did you try listening through the screencast? There is only one slide (title slide) for about 45 seconds, then it goes to Visual Studio for demonstration.

(I tried it from my desktop and laptop, and both seem to be working okay)

I encountered the same problem as Shilpa.    It stucks at the first slide.    I stayed through the whole presentation.  When I rewound on the presentation, I began to see something but then it stuck there again while I could hear the presenter continue talking.

It still looks okay to me on Vista and Win7 - are you downloading? watching 'streamed'? Are you using Windows Media Player to watch it? Or another app?

Thanks,
Cliff

Hi Cliff,

Yes, I was using Windows Media Player to watch it.  The version is 10.00.00.4036.    I am on Windows XP.   What I did was clicking the big green play button on top of this page.   I try to download (through the download link) but that did not work for me too.   Please advise.
