Hi -

I typically recommend that people start with the walkthrough included in BOL; it'll give you a pretty good overview of the technology, terminology, etc. Many people, after going through the example, are left with more questions that when they began. That's where some of the other sample instances can help out to some extent.

At the risk of sounding like I'm doing little more than promoting my own book, I will mention that I do have a book out there that's designed to get people up to speed with SSNS in a very short amount of time. It's less than 200 pages and I've heard good things about it in the community.

Shyam Pather, also has a book out there on the subject. At 600+ pages, it's definitely a great resource to have and it covers much more than my book - custom content formatters, etc.

I also blog about the topic here - http://www.sqlns.com.

And of course you can content to visit this forum and we'll be glad to provide whatever help we can.

HTH...

Indeed, Joe Webb is right:

his and S.Pather's books are the best 2 books in the market now.

There are quite a few others which either have a chapter on NS or are completely dedicated to NS, but those 2 are way better.

Just get either one of those 2 books (or, better yet, both) and follow the samples.

It won't take you too long to get your own prototype up and running, and then you will change and extend it the way you need.

That's how I did my NS app.

Undoubtedly, MSDN is the best source of technical info when you need to quickly find an answer to a particular question...

...but to get you up and running, you need a good book.
