nuts-n-bolts of WCF?

Is there any Absolute Beginner's tutorial available on Web for WCF that comprehensively describes the underlying technologies, protocol开发者_C百科s and other relevant stuff.

Just cramming the ABCs and other conventions make me feel bad.

I bought Essential Windows Communication Foundation. It's not a bad book and good for learning the fundamentals. I have found some occasions though where I wanted to know something specific and the book just didn't have enough detail. But for picking up WCF, I recommend it.

I found unleashed to be a good book to get the nuts and bolts: http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Communication-Foundation-Unleashed-WCF/dp/0672329484

Has a lot of examples and covers pretty much all of the various wcf facets
