Reviews for Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5 (Microsoft .Net Development)

1. Great introduction to WCF

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, July 12th, 2008

   The book is good. It is very well written and easy to understand and the authors did not bother to put in too many pointless exercises and overly long examples. They stick to the main points and do it well. The only problem is that the code examples in the book are badly in need of a review. Quite often they would never have compiled or they do not do what the text says they do. It is sort of a minor issue but at times it can be quite confusing. I you are not in a hurry to learn about WCF then I would wait for the second edition. If you are in a hurry then I would still recommend this book.

2. Excellent book well recommended

   This is an excellent book with very clear easy to follow examples and explanations. I would highly recommend it. Some of the other texts available are a bit out of date with the release of VS2008 but this appears to be very up to date.
