 Rating:  - Complete Reference using ASP.NETWeb Services is rather a very broad subject. You can fall endlessly in both the technical aspect of it as well as practical. For a lot of developers, Web Services are simply a new way of accessing functions through a more standard way, while for others, they are very interested in how it is actually being done behind. This book will answer, as best as it's possible in one book, to both these worlds. You will learn how to manage state & authentication with Web Services, when & how to use Web Services, as well as some practical case-studies. The mention of ASP.NET in the title doesn't mean that there are ASP.NET tutorials itself (which happened in the past), it's only to state that this book is intended for ASP.NET developers that wishes to learn about Web Services. Rating:  - My opinion: one of the most poorly written books I've seenI have waded through this book & am now up to chapter 4. Without making a judgement on the *technical* content of the book, the actual text encountered so far is, in my opinion, verbose, poorly structured and meanders all over the place, making it a bit of a slog to get through. Specifically, the information could be presented more crisply in far fewer words without continual "as referred to earlier"/"as I will be describing later in this section/chapter". It all looks like notes by the chapter author to himself as he was writing it out so as not to forget to add a bit on a particular subject in a (chronlogically) later paragraph. Given Wrox's habit of throwing a dozen or so authors to be one of the first to turn out a book whatever the latest bleeding edge MS technology is (with the pre-requisite 700 pages/2.5" of shelf space), it may be that the later chapters by other authors turn out better - this remains to be seen. Please don't rely on my opinion - go check the book out for yourself.  Try searching the Internet for "Professional ASP.Net Web Services" or Ebay for "Professional ASP.Net Web Services".
