Great DVD for newbies and veterans to .NET. Some books talk about how to create a windows service, but they stop there and don't give you the necessary information to use it in a windows application or security. Other titles start too advanced and go further to the point of unuse. Scott Mitchell (4guysfromRolla President) does an excellent job of explaining the groundwork of web services and then gets into how to use this in a web app, windows app and a service oriented architecture. He also goes on to talk about soap authorization credentials in the WSE 1.0 & 2.0. This DVD takes users not knowing much about web services or .NET in general to using Web Services in Win app, Web Apps, Service Oriented Architectures and even security through the soap header.

This is probably one of the best buys that I have made this year. I had a .net services class at my University, and I found the topic rather boring. However, this DVD changed my mind. The guy has a very nice style of teaching that keeps you starving for more. He pretty much covers everything you need to know to become comfortable with Xml Webservices. In any case, this DVD helped me alot with my .net MCAD exam, being new to .net. Well-done!!

Get a good overview, but somtimes very boring, because Scott repeats everything several times and he repaets everything again. That is, he repeats it again as I mentioned before. The DVD is really for beginners, to learn the basic concepts. Conclusion: Too much repetitions.
