Book Reviews of Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation Step by Step (Step By Step Developer Series)

Book Review: All you need to start with WCF
Summary: 5 Stars

This book starts with an excellent intro to WCF in the first 10 chapters and in the last 6 chapters goes deeper into the framework. I liked the smooth gradual increase in complexity and the completeness of the content coverage.

As I used VS2008 on Vista with Enterprise Library 4.0 the primers do not always work as described. I can see how a novice in .NET and ASP.NET might get really frustrated with the inconsistencies (primarily around UAC and the Enterprise Library), but for more experienced developers it would not be hard to figure things out after some googling, and learn quite a bit in the process. It'll be nice though if the author makes some clarifications and updates, and posts them to amazon or to MS Press.

This book is all about learning by doing. There is no fluff and useless rants. Highly recommended.
