Worse than anyone even says
I've probably read 100 technical books, but this is the worst I've ever opened. The number of errors just kills me... Why people don't compile their code and THEN paste it into their book is beyond me... Chapter two has an example where you create a Console Application, then you're asked to rename the Service1 file, but the Console Application wizard creates a Console1 file (the Web Service wizard creates a Service1 file). These errors are just inexcusable and the errors and issues go on forever... The errata should be as large as the book itself. Even larger if they included an apology for all the mistakes. I'd be totally ashamed to have my name on this book. If you're curious, buy a used copy for $5 and see for yourself. Even at that price, you'll probably feel ripped off.

WHAT A HORRIBLE BOOK!!
Don't waste your money on this book. The author makes it obvious through the examples provided that his knowledge of C# language structure is poor and the examples provided are 100 miles of bad road. Right off the bat in the early chapters of the book I tried to follow the examples in the book, but by instruction provided they don't work. You find yourself working around the mistakes in the book to get the examples to work. This book is a better reference for Schemas and Service Protocols than anything. Stay away if you are looking to learn about Web Services. I'd recommend a book by Wrox.
