Good tutorial for my first Custom Service Application in SharePoint 2010?

Question

I found this one, but it has a step that says to "Select the “WCF Service” project template...", which wouldn't make sense for adding a New Item (at least that doesn't sound right to me).

I'm curious if anyone can recommend a good beginners tutorial for writing your first Custom Service Application.

Answer 1

I ended up using this one:

It's long and painful but is still the best one i've found so far. Hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

A bit late but still.. Have a look at:
