Title: .NET Web Services: Architecture and Implementation with .NET by Keith Ballinger ISBN: 0-321-11359-4 Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co Pub. Date: 12 February, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.4 (10 reviews)

Summary: Good, but not great
Comment: It's hard to think of a writer that has better web service credentials that Keith Ballinger. Because of that, I expected a lot from this book. And though the book is good, it's unfortunately equivalent to almost every other .NET web service intro title. I didn't find any more low-level details or tips that weren't already in other books (other good choices are Yasser Shohoud's Real World XML Web Services for VB'ers and O'Reilly's Programming .NET Web Services for C#-coders). There was disappointingly little advice for enterprise architecture here (how web services should fit into a distributed application) although I got a better understanding of SOAP encodings. I haven't yet found any book that covers WSE... hopefully the second editions of these books will fill this area in.

Summary: Good book
Comment: Keith does a pretty good job of introducing the various peices of web services and how they fit into the .NET world, including things i haven't seen elsewhere such as WSDL's extension points, and some coverage of WSE/GXA. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get started in web services on .NET (you should also check out Yasser Shohoud's book Real World XML Web Services)

Summary: I expected more ...
Comment: First things, Keith Ballinger is extremely knowledgable when it comes to .NET web services. This book contains a lot of valuable information about designing and building web services using the .NET framework. So why only 3 stars?
This book was published in 2003 (some specs from April 2003 are mentioned to confirm that), but it reads more like a 2001-2002 book. I was really looking for some information about how and when to use WSE instead of standard ASMX. Unlike most ... books I own, this book really needed more technical editing and some better graphics (check out figure 3.3 for a chuckle). Lastly, the website for this book contains no useful information and is often unavailable. I expected more from ... Keith Ballinger.
