Customer Reviews

Excellent book, very well structured and succinct

It is very well structured. Organization of the chapters and subsections in each chapter is very well designed and extremely pleasant to follow. Sentences are succinct and straightforward to the point. Excellent code examples are given. Every technical book should be written in this style, in my opinion. This book is one of the best books that I have ever read among many technical books, regardless of the subject.

Great introduction to web services with ASP.NET

I recently needed to quickly get "up to speed" on creating and using web services with ASP.NET. Although I was already very familiar with XML, SOAP, WSDL, etc., I found the explanations of how web services work to be very useful and understandable. I also found that the sample code enabled me to easily create my own web services using ASP.NET. I appreciated that both VB and C# were included in the examples and discussions.Overall, I found this to be a very practical, as well as understandable, introduction to ASP.NET and web services.

Excellent book for the beginner to intermediate

Finally, a book on .NET that the beginner can pick up and read without bewilderingly scratching his head. Robert's writing style is clear, consise, and really explains what's going on without droning on about complex, off-topic 'behind-the-scenes' code that's best left to the reference books.As a budding C# programmer, I truly appreciate all the bi-lingual code Robert took pains in creating. These days, books typically pic one language and stick to it. The VB and C# folks certainly are treated equally here. And considering some of his content, I'd have a hard time in places if I were forced to convert VB into my own C#.It's very well laid-out, the grammar and word choice is excellent, and is virtually never off-topic. It's obvoius to me that the intended audience is always kept in mind and the treatment is thorough enough that it can take a beginner from knowing very little about .NET to writing web services and clients along with describing the various technologies behind the .NET initiatives.

Great overall picture of xml web services with .net

Very easy to read, good all-around range of information regarding .net Web services. I am glad I picked this book up because it pertains specifically to web services in the new .NET environment.
