1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book on .net web services ever, February 23, 2005

By	Sunil Kumar Singh - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a total disaster. The authors don't know how to present material for readers to understand. Examples are half cooked and mixed up between soap 1.1 and soap 1.2.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing and rehash of documentation., March 22, 2005

By	Joe (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

The book is very confusing. Not clear and concise. Several of the chapters seems to be rehash of documentation meant to increase the size of the book.
