Invaluable, even for seasoned developers May 28, 2008
I originally intended to learn WCF from Juval Lowy's (excellent) book, however there were a few implementation details that I was having difficulty with because the delivery of the platform hadn't quite caught up with the development tools and operating systems (VS2008 and Windows 2008 Server respectively). So I found myself wrestling with such problems as how to deploy manageable non-HTTP services in a Windows Server 2003 environment, potential integration with CardSpace, and using message contracts to mimic asmx behaviour for SOAP headers, among other problems - this book has been worth the money on nearly all of these.
Where Juval Lowy's book is more abstract, this is more hands-on. There is more emphasis on concrete implementation of concepts here (although the level of detail is less deep). The style is clear without being patronising.
This book has been very useful in helping me to deal with the more practical issues of WCF adoption and deployment. I'd thoroughly recommend it as the perfect complement to Juval Lowy's book.
