Most up-to-date information on the WS-Specs and WSE out righ
This book gives readers a brief introduction to WS-Specs like WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-Attachments, WS-SecureConversation, WS-Trust and WS-Transactions, and shows how to use the WSE (based on early adopter 2.0 code) in conjunction with these specs. This book is good for someone who is a beginning to intermediate web services programmer, who wants to learn how to use the WSE to secure their web services. I thought Jeannine did a good job of laying out the basics, with enough code samples to walk the reader through. It does require basic knowledge of .NET coding, since the code samples use C#. I'm looking forward to downloading the sample code - although it's based on a beta of the 2.0 code, and all we can download right now is the tech preview. There is no other book out there right now with the 2.0 code, or the latest on the specs, which are still in the process of changing.

Very informative introduction to Web Services.
This book really increased my understanding of the subject WSE SDK. The code samples helped me understand more about the WS-specifications. The author explains the potential of WS-security and WS-policy and shows examples of how this can be implemented.

This was the most useless book I've seen from MSPress
The book offers not more information that can be found on MSDN but formatted much much worse than the MSDN content. There are very few specifics and virtually no detail. The code and XML snippets are hardly described. This material qualified for a magazine article at most, and not for a professional book.
