Book Overview

This book draws the reader into the service-oriented architecture (SOA) mindset and immerses them in updated code and reference material specifically architected for Visual Studio 2005 and Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0. It provides a head start on building SOA applications using the author's clear conceptual discussions, practical examples, and accurate treatment of difficult material that doesn't simply "gloss over" the hard stuff. Most .NET-based Web services are simply containers for limited RPC-style methods. This book shows how to shift development paradigm to create Web services that process sophisticated XML messages within a secure, service-oriented, loosely-coupled architecture. Over half of the book has been thoroughly updated from the first edition. It focuses on implementation by policy, rather than code, as a more efficient means for implementing solutions. The book provides the practical information needed today, while at the same time preparing you for what is needed tomorrow.

Ignore the hype, buy for WSE 3.0

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

If I could rate the first half of the book separately from the second half, I'd give the first half 1 star, because it's filled with junk and hype and stupid marketecture assertions about magical things that services do that ordinary components don't. Most of these assertions are simply false, the kind of "selling-it" nonsense that usually accompanies a bleeding-edge technology. Thing is, the edge isn't bleeding for Web Services or SOA any more, and we can see through the hype pretty clearly, but Hasan hasn't caught up. So the first half of the book is pretty useless, just as it was in the first edition. On the other hand, also just like the first edition, the second half is amazingly useful, dead-on practical, and totally hands-on. It's probably the most coherent summary of WSE 3.0 around, so the second half should get 5 stars. If you need to know how to get anything in WSE 3.0 up and running (and you should if your Web Services actually do anything significant), then the second half of this book is the first place you should look.
