    I got this book hoping it would help me figure out how to connect to and use a web service. I was new to asp. net and of course web services. My only previous knowledge of web services came from searches on the internet. When I got this book I skipped everything and thumbed to Chapter 9 on consuming web services where I was able to see a useful and simplified list of steps to follow in Visual Studio that helped me to successfully use the web service. Although the book describes ways to create and consume web services without using Visual Studio, I used it as a reference for use with Visual Studio. I was specifically having trouble figuring out how to include the web service in my Visual Studio project so I could reference the web service’s methods. This book, through the simple list of steps (and helpful definitions of the steps themselves), helped me add the web reference to my project and use the web service’s methods in my program. That was what I really needed.

    After plowing through the first 60 pages of this book, I realized there is room for a level or two below “Dummy”. The author, Anthony Mann, claims that this book was written equally for the beginner and intermediate level. I guess it depends on how you define “beginner”. I manage the Intranet for a large financial institution, and while I have some working knowledge of HTML, I am a business manager, not a programmer. I looked to a dummy-level book to help me understand the opportunities that web services will offer my world. If you’re in the same boat as me, be sure you know something about programming before you buy this book. If you don’t, you’ll likely be confused by lines like “The system namespace provides a set of fundamental classes (including methods, properties, and events) that yields base-level services for . NET. ” Huh? What’s a base-level service? And what are classes? I didn’t know the techy lingo, so I found it impossible to get a foothold anywhere in the book. And I only read the intro pages. . . I can only imagine how lost I’d be in the later chapters. Bottom line: this book isn’t for you if you have no coding background.

    This book was a joy to read and presented a great holistic approach to . net web services. By that I mean it covered the subject from A to Z including such relevant topics as firewalls, SSL, RAID, UDDI, etc. It is important to have an understanding of the whole infrastructure encompassed by . net web services. I have a background in programming including some web development 4 years ago (prior to . net). Yet I found the book very informative and am thankful I got over my ‘a dummy book is not for me’ attitude. For example, the author did a history of COM, DCOM, COM+ in nutshell that really helped explain the problems web services solved. The book goes into web services development in enough detail to get you started coding. For serious development you would want a more detailed reference but this is a great starting point. The author has demonstrated an excellent grasp of the web development landscape and put it all together in a cohesive fashion. If you want to find out what the . net furor is all about I highly recommend this author.
