The test covered completely different material from this book. It did not help prepare me whatsoever for the exam, I am currently seeking a refund from the publisher.

I read through it only because I got one for free. The author simply does not know what he is talking about. While Typo and syntax errors are common for a rushed book, so many basic facts are incorrect. The Osborne series is known for its poor quality, but this one is probably the worst.

After taking a Transcender test I've decided that this book just doesn't do the job and I ordered the Microsoft book since it has now been released. However, I do think that this book has excellent step-by-step instructions on dealing with Web Services. It will come in handy when I'm actually developing and setting up Web Services. Where it lacks is in the conceptual information that is necessary to pass the test.

If anyone has figured out how to get exercise 4.03 of the Remoting chapter working then please post the fix in your review because I wasted a good 3 hours on it before giving up. The problem is, is that there is no good documentation on the MSDN for using Activator.GetObject. In the web.config file, I'm still unsure if it should be ObjectUrl (in the book) or ObjectUri (every other article I've read).

Juste à lire la couverture et l'endos du livre, nous sommes embalés par toute la capacité du livre, mais aussitôt qu'on se met à lire les chapitre on se demande: Où sont donc les éléments mentionnés sur la couverture. "Xml web services", hahaha, ... , 1 chapitre sur le sujet. Par chance que je ne m'hasardais pas sur le sujet. Un livre de 520 pages ? Ne vous fait pas avoir par l'arnaque; le livre contient 400 pages et le reste sont des "Appendix" sur quasiement toutes les lettres de l'alphabet. Le chapitre le plus gros porte sur les manipulations de données! He, je penses que j'en ai lu avec 70-306 assez pour dire que le titre du livre est Xml web services and server components Development et non la manipulation de données. Enfin, cela reste un opinion.<p>La raison de mon 1 étoile! Parce qu'il n'y avait pas 0 étoile lors de l'écriture de ce commentaire. Rating: 1 / 5 Un livre de la sorte ne devrait pas exister.
