Yes, WCF is PHAT! But I am having these days where I take a step back, look at the, clear my mind and for a fraction of a second stop being the geek that I really am and ask myself the question: “do I really need WCF for this project?”

Nevertheless, WCF is phat! By the way, did you know that soon you can buy the 3rd Edition of the book Programming WCF Services by Juwal Löwy?
