I am needing to create a web service, so the first thing I did of course was go to google
If you look in those results, you’ll see nothing but things about ASMX, which apparently is dubbed legacy technology to be replaced by WCF. Why is it that ASMX is still so vastly popular compared to WCF? (of course, on SO WCF is way more popular.. hmmm)
Because it’s older and more established. Therefore there are more pages on the Interwebs referring to it.
It also uses different terminology (because WCF is more than just web services) so you’re not going to see it show up in Google as often for a search on “Web Services”.
