Day 1 – The Intro
The book has 16 chapters plus the introduction. So that means that there are a total of 17 days that I can blog about my reading, leaving me with 14 to blog about projects and so on. The other choice is to one day blog about my readings, and the other to blog about the exercises. Post with suggestions. Now… down to business.
Introduction:
————————————
WCF is intended to consolidate today’s choices of communication technologies. For example, Web Services, COM+ and so on. As every other introduction does this one too goes over who the book is intended for. One of the folks it is intended for is a developer (me), whom is familiar with Visual Studio 2005 and C# (also me). There is also a list of where you could start depending on your level of experience. I for one plan to read the whole book since there is always some reference you miss when you skip a chapter or whatnot.
The only other things covered are the installation process for all the pre-reqs. With that being said I think I am going to do the exercises as separate posts, and yak about what I liked and didn’t. As you may notice I will post at night, being that I have a job to be at 
Getting Started
Ok, so you may have noticed the fitness link at the top. That was step one of the challenge. I have also selected the book I am going to read/post about::
Geek Challenge
Lately I have been into the whole nutrition / workout thing. I really can’t say lately because it has been going on for the last 6 months… or more now. So in the interests of remaining geeky I have challenged my friend Ryan to a geek fitness challenge. He is to do the same thing I did earlier this year, blog every day about pushup/situps he is doing to form a habit. I in turn will try to get my geek on more, while continuing my workout / eating habits. So what will I do ? Two things:
1. Later tonight I am going to create another section on this blog that will be dedicated to fitness. I will post my meal plan, and workout regimen and try to update that as much as I can.
2. I am going to find a book on something that interests me, namely WCF. I am going to read 1 chapter each night and blog about it for the next 31 days, or until I am done with the book. If I finish the book before the 31 days is up, I am going to start a small pratice project and blog about that. If I get a book that is longer than 31 chapters…. buy the book to find the summary to the remaining chapters lol… or I may be nice and post those too.
That’s it for now.. check back tomorrow to see what book I selected.
