Featured Customer Reviews bad book for beginners, April 03, 2008 I agree with some of the users about how bad this book is. Good developers does not equate to being a good book writer. The authors may be great at programming but poor at presenting their knowledge to novice and intermediate users. This book was written not solely for web services as the title implies, so it is misleading to buyers of the book. It concentrates more on how .Net architecture should be designed in a theorical way. I didn't get anything helpful on web services, and will look at some other books or the net instead. If you are a hands-on learner, then this book is NOT for you, there is no full code that I can see. Good starter guide..! Nothing more, July 11, 2004 This book intoduces more on XML stuff than to a .NET developer. It starts explaining .NET architecture after XML. I have read a lot of xml stuff before, so that probably helps to new developer. The authors approach on explaining things is just great for a new .NET developer. I used this book like a quick start for .NET Web services. Beside, I found this book lack lot of architectural considerations for real world deployments and so on. Good Overview Book, January 10, 2004 Authors have done a good job of giving a good overview of XML, XSLT, SOAP and WebServices. Creating and understanding a schema is well done. SOAP and WebServices are clearly explained. This book could have been just on XML, XSLT, SOAP and WebServices. If you know some XML and XML schema, little or no SOAP and WebService you can have this book to quickly get an overview. Where is the Web Service content?, November 08, 2003 I just coughed up $50 plus $17 overnight shipping thinking that I was buying a good book on application develpment with a focus on Web Services. When I recieved the book, I was very dissappointed. Chapter 2: What is XML....Chapter 3: What is a schema.. Chapter 5: What is XSLT? on and on..... It is possible that this book may be well-written, but I feel duped into thinking it was a book on Web Services. The title is completely misleading!!!! I suspect that having "Building Web Services" in the front of the title will gain more sales and more frustrated customers at the same time. It is simply wrong to title a book "Building Web Services and .NET applications" if only chapter 8 and chapter 14 of the 17 chapter book have anything directly to do with Web Services. The title for this book was apparently written by the marketing dept. To be honest, I have not read the book, I have just skimmed through it. However, I am not inclined to read the "What is XML" chapter or "What is XSLT" chapter. I was not under the impression that I bought a book with so many filler chapters. I will be returning it today. Muy buen libro para arquitectos, March 09, 2003 Es injusto que alguien le pueda dar 1 estrella a este libro, porque es un texto muy bueno. Definitivamente está dirigido a un público diferente de aquellos que buscan cómo aprender algo en 10 minutos o 24 horas, no es ese tipo de literatura. Es un libro para alguien que quiere entender cómo y porqué deben hacerse las cosas en los ambientes distribuidos y porque XML viene a ser un elemento fundamental en este tipo de arquitecturas. Obviamente al centrarse en estas explicaciones conceptuales da poco espacio para documentar código fuente(se puede bajar), que es lo que determinado público anda buscando. Si Ud. esta interesado en entender la filosofia de los ambientes distribuidos y el papel que XML y los Web Service juegan, este libro es para Ud. You might also be interested in these items...
