As a side note, when I was learning Service Broker a couple of years ago, I read over thirty articles, tutorials and walkthroughs, including many from Microsoft. And yet I could not get a single one of them to work!

What I discovered later was that every one of those articles either had significant mistakes or, more often, left out important details that made it impossible to get their examples to work (Microsoft's examples have since been corrected, mostly). In response to this I made up my own presentation, and example code to teach Service Broker, and especially to point out all of the typical mistakes and traps that first-time SB developers get caught by.

You can download it here. I promise you that it works.
