Recommended Books: Programming WCF Services

Posted by Davy Brion on August 10th, 2008

I had very mixed feelings about this book while i was reading it. It was just so incredibly boring and pretty much impossible to continue reading for a few hours. My biggest mistake was that i was trying to read this book like i do every other book: cover to cover. And it really isn’t suited for that, unless you’re battling a sleeping disorder. It is however very valuable as a WCF reference book and if you plan on using it as such, then it definitely is worthy of recommendation. You’ll quickly find whatever it is you need to know about specific WCF area’s, but if your goal is to learn WCF, get Bustamante’s Learning WCF instead.

    I really liked Essential Windows Communication Foundation, it’s to the point, doesn’t just explain the click here’s and click there’s and above all, it’s even usefull as a reference.
