Not quite the introduction I was looking for,
By Damodar Chetty (Minnesota, US [www.swengsol.com]) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Quickstart Apache Axis2: A practical guide to creating quality web services (Paperback)
I came to this book looking for a good introduction to Axis2 - unfortunately this wasn't it.
After completing this book, I really can't tell who might actually benefit from it. The material is at too high a level for someone who is an experienced hand at web services, and is at too low a level (and confusing to boot) for someone new. Even worse, the writing shows a lack of technical editing support that is very difficult to ignore (both in terms of grammatical/construction errors and pure repetitiveness). There is a surprising lack of working examples, and the few diagrams that are included add very little value to the text, and seem to be afterthoughts at best. The book provided me with a lot of very generic overviews of the classes that comprise Axis2, but very little in depth coverage of any topic - which unfortunately was what I really needed. I struggled through most of the book, hoping for a few nuggets of information. But, I did not come away with enough to recommend this book.

I have read many programming books, this one is in the toilet,
By TS "TS" (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quickstart Apache Axis2: A practical guide to creating quality web services (Paperback)
This book is a lot of jibberish. It goes on and describes a lot of the web services terms that people already know, but fails to show practical Axis2 APIs or how people would use Axis2 to get things done.
A lot of the stuff in this book you can simply google for or get the answers from wikipedia. When it comes to the meat: implementing Web Services in Axis2, I can't believe the book did it in one paragraph! What the....

Nothing practical. Misleading title.,

This review is from: Quickstart Apache Axis2: A practical guide to creating quality web services (Paperback)
This book is a mistake. I do not see who can make use of it. Its title implies that it is targeted to Axis2 beginners. An Axis2 newbie won't be able to gain any practical skills of it. An Axis2 advanced user will be familiar with these concepts. The details vary from too high level to too low level. Examples are virtually missing especially up to chapter 7. Very bad value for money and time spent on it.
A much more successful paper book for Axis2 beginners is: "Developing Web Services with Apache Axis2" by Mr. Tong. Also the official site offers valuable resources.
