Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: The book is very well-written and very comprehensive. The authors made a great job at writing a book that can be read from cover to cover. The book begins with some reminders and why it is making life as a .NET developers more easier. Then come the language explanations, the part where you will see how C# and VB.NET have been tweaked to support the syntax. I found that a lot of energy has been put in pedagogy for readers that come with a classical OOP background. Pros

Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: The first wcf book I owned is Programming WCF services. After reading that book, I understood what wcf service is, but did not know how to build one. Doing extensive search on google for samples, I came across Michele WCF Webcast series, and that is amazing. I then decided to buy this book to keep as a reference and to avoid going back and forth from the webcast. This book is way out of my expectation, since I initially thought it was just a printed of what the webcast is. It is a greatest book that I ever owned in my life Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: Michele - the book is v articulate and thought I am not done yet, it has held my rapt interest. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: Very helpful book. Michelle, let's be in touch, please email me. Thanks. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: I tried to read another book on this subject and after re-starting from the beginning 3 times decided to search for another book. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: This is an update to my original book review. After reading the review Michelle contacted me by email in reference to my comment about the labs not working. She suggested that I navigate to her website where the VS2008 versions of the labs could be found. Since downloading the updated lab files, I have not had a problem with them. There is also a link (actually a set of links) on one of her web pages to a 15 part webcast on WCF. These webcasts are a nice companion to the printed text and use essentially the same example files. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: Overall this is a useful and well-written book. However, it is out-of-date in many respects. For instance, it does not reflect the many changes in WCF project for VS2008. Given the publication date this isn't the author's fault, but if you can find a more up-to-date book you might. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: I'm an experienced C++/MFC programmer that is new to C# and .NET. I needed to come up to speed on WCF and after reading reviews on amazon.com and examing the available titles for WCF in the local B&N superstore, I settled on this one. Comments about oreilly Learning WCF: WCF represents a bold step to unify a number of previous concepts for distributed messaging. In Learning WCF, Michelle takes on the challenging task of explaining WCF. It is a challenging task because on the outside WCF is a simple concept, a unified way to expose and interact with one or more loosely coupled services. As you dive beyond the simple concept, you begin to learn the mechanics of how all the pieces work together. In Learning WCF, it walks you through from the basics of the Hello WCF example more complex examples using WCF. Displaying reviews 1-10 Previous | Next » |
