Microsofta .Net XML Web Services Step by Step

This book and Programming Visual Basic .NET by Francesco Balena have answered virtually all of my questions about building production distributed database applications using XML Web services. If you're interested, you can download a sample of my working code at www.opointe.com

If you have a knowledge of VB or C#, this book does a pretty good job teaching you how to create your own Web service and use other out there on the Internet, even if you don't have prior experiences. This book assumes you have VS.NET. If you don't have it, it won't be helpful. VS.NET makes using and especially creating Web Services easy and this book tells you how easily you can do it.Here are why I think the book is good. * Presentation is clear. You'll know what you'll be learning in each chapter. * Sample code is provided on the web.* No talking down.* The authors really mean "step-by-step". Little rooms for mistakes.Bad things.* Because the book explains the basics, you may be able to find all the information on the Web. You'll probably need more time searching and filtering them, though.

This is a good book for everyone to learn XML web service! It is very straightforward and easy to understand!When reading this book and following the instructions step by step, I learn a lot of concepts and understand the basic ideas of XML web service! After reading this book, you can read the advanced books about XML service! I really recommend this book to all of you!

I liked the way that the examples are in VB and C# and that (unlike the ADO Step By Step book), only the code is repeated.This book is packed with information, but is wasy to follow and the examples build up into a useful web service to process credit cards.This is the best web services book I have read.

Comprehensive, but easy to follow. I learned a lot,very quickly and with no problems. Recommended.
