Summary: Extraordinary
Comment: This is a brilliant book.
- Extremely well written
- Chapter 1 WCF essentials gets relative newcomers to WCF up and running very quickly
- The remaining chapters are just stuffed with best practices
- Many useful utilities
- A lot of the more advanced content, I didn't quite get, but I understood enough, so that I can easily go back and look for it later, when I need it (which I probably will)
Buy it now!

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant!!!
Comment: This book is absolutely brilliant. So much so we purchased numerous copies for our department to assist with work on a major Whole-of-Government project in Australia. We have found it valuable to junior and veteran developers as it provides good coverage of key topics are functional examples.
This book is a must read.

Summary: WCF-riffic
Comment: yah.. pretty much what the others are saying. First book i purchased on WCF was "Pro WCF: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation" and it wasn't all that interesting, rather a list of facts about wcf with some background leading up to it. this book is a typical oreilly read. concise, yet informative with clear examples in the text. Also, be sure to download the .net 3.0 SDK with samples library for WCF, AND the IDesign website for lots and lots of great examples. between those 2 you should have enough code to look at, and this book will fill in the blanks of what it all means.

Summary: Attention SOA Architects!
Comment: If you are one of the many architects\engineers moving from asp.net web services, enterprise services, or .net remoting to the Windows Communication Foundation, this book is a must have. WCF is wide ranging and Programming WCF Services covers it all. Not just the how, but the why. This book should be on the shelf of every architect building service oriented applications.

Summary: Best WCF Reference Book
Comment: When I bought this book, we were new to the WCF technologies and we were working on a SOA-based Windows application. Our engineers have been using the book ever since in our project development. We've been able to use the book as a reference for coding samples and issues that came up during the project. It contains a lot of in-depth discussions and details on how to design/code robust and secure web services. Design and architectural trade-offs are also everywhere in the book. This is a MUST-HAVE for software designers and architects. With the coding samples/scenarios, it's also a great companion for the hard-core software developers too.
