Good Book
This book is one of the few books that i have come across that covers the XML structures of the Web-Services so In-depth. Most of the other books starts of directly with the programming aspects. But in this book, there is a very detailed explanation of the SOAP, WSDL and UDDI structures. Such thorough explanation helps any programmer to get a very good understanding on the XML centric architecture of the Web Services framework. The most useful part of the book is the running theory of how web services works.

Also the book does not try to cover too many things at the same time. The simple approach taken by the authors to keep simple things seperate from the more complex APIs provides good advantage to the readers to understand webservices very easily. Probably the authors should come-out with a Volume 2 of the book, which should cover other complex APIs.

All in all a very good reading material....

Goob Book
I bought this book in the hope of learning everything about Web Services. But it looks like their is so much to learn than what meets the eye. This book is very good for intermediate programmers only. Advanced concepts like security are left out.

The explanations in the book is very good. The APIs are not all that old, though some of them have been replaced by newer versions. The examples used is very easy to understand and well explained.

There are few places where i found grammatical mistakes. There are some typos too.

Overall a very good book to practically understand webservices.

Good Explanations
Though the book has obsolete code, the explanations in the book are very clear and helpful. I guess the authors released the book too early.. The webservices APIs are ever changing and is not yet finalized. Either ways, this book is very good for beginners like me..
