Painful 2 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While there is some good technical information in this book, it is a slog to read and feels like an 'early beta' before it's been edited and proofread. The first chapter throws lots of confusing terminology at you, much of which is jumbled and repeated, obviously written by someone for whom 'pattern' is the current buzzword. The second chapter is a little better, but sometimes uses different terms to the first, has mistakes, and seems to use many words when a couple would do. The book is padded out with lists of attributes etc which are easier to get from the on-line help. One of the chapters is written by someone who keeps using the word 'the' when it is not needed, but not when it is, meaning that you don't retain information as your brain is too busy trying to parse the English. Having read the first few chapters, which could easily have been compressed into a few pages, I've put the book down and I doubt if I'll bother to pick it up again. Have Wrox lost it?

Format:Paperback
I was very keen to learn all I could about WCF and how to exploit all the new features. I got to Chapter 2 and decided to 'code-along' with the example, to help reinforce my understanding, as it is used throughout the book and built upon as you progress through the chapters. After creating an interface, a class and generating the wsdl using svcutil, I couldn't progress any further. The book didn't explain what you were supposed to do with the generated files and didn't give you an overview of the structure of the Visual Studio projects - this is essential if the correct service references are to be picked up by the other projects e.g. the console client. I downloaded the code from the web site to see if this would help explain the set up but the code is basically a bunch of separate files without any clue to the project stuctures. The authors are assuming the reader knows stuff which is probably basic to them, but it is essential to spell this out, especially in the early chapters. Book closed - will look for knowledge elsewhere.
