This review is from: Web Services Enhancements: Understanding the WSE for .NET Enterprise Applications (Paperback)

This book introduces the toolset from Microsoft to use to build web services on .NET- the WSE,which is now being offered for free at the MSDN web site. I've read some other books by this author and found them helpful. This book did not let me down. It is valuable to any developer looking to build robust and well-architected web services.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book - Just past its prime., October 19, 2005

This review is from: Web Services Enhancements: Understanding the WSE for .NET Enterprise Applications (Paperback)

I hope Mr. Evjen will put out an updated version of this book when WSE 3.0 hits the scene. Being new to web services I grabbed a used copy to get into WSE. I found this to be a well written book with great examples in both C# and VB (about time!). However, those great examples are using WSE 1 so you will find code that is obsolete. An updated edition with the same plain language explanations and examples would be 5 stars, so keep your eyes open.
