Chris has finally finished it! I love listening to Chirs talking tech and he's just a corking chap; he should need no introduction to the .Net developers amoung us (however if you don't know who he is then check this out), his long awaited WPF book is now out... you owe it to yourself, .

The picture (which should be a live picture) is of Keswick in Cumbria, England from the top of the building looking at Skiddaw.

A fantastic part of the world.

I was asked recently for the Podcasts that I regularly listen too; so that's the thrust of this post. I have listened to fair number of podcasts over the years but the ones listed here are the ones that seemed to have survived over that time. Carl Franklin is the Podfather, with his company Pwop, so the majority listed here are from his stable:

Technology

• .Net Rocks (there is also a visual version of this show called DNRTV)
• 
  
• HanselMinutes
• 
  
• iinnovate
• 
  
• RunAs Radio (this is brand new, only one episode at the time of posting -- but is excellent, well done Carl and Richard)
• 
  

Fun / Comedy

• Millahseconds (This one seems to be dying, but worth listening to what is there even if you don't follow it up for more listening later)
• 
  
• Mondays
• 
  
• Best of Moyles
• 
  

I will also del.icio.us these at some point (as I have for the blogs that I read).

I'm starting to put together some ideas for a technical training session(s) on WCF and thought I'd canvas for some feedback here first. Let me know what you'd want from a technical course on WCF, here's some ideas that I've had so far:

• ASMX to WCF integration
• Applied WCF i.e. real applications and code, not just "The Bookstore" examples
• Step by step instructions and how to's on common key scenarios

Anything you can think of will be appreciated, either let me know via the contact link in my profile or add a comment to this post.

Another posting, this time on . Observent, articulate and more importantly he's right; all the qualities we have come to expect from one of posts.
