Customer Reviews & Comments
I just coughed up $50 plus $17 overnight shipping thinking that I was buying a good book on application develpment with a focus on Web Services. When I recieved the book, I was very dissappointed. Chapter 2: What is XML....Chapter 3: What is a schema.. Chapter 5: What is XSLT? on and on..... It is possible that this book may be well-written, but I feel duped into thinking it was a book on Web Services. The title is completely misleading!!!! I suspect that having "Building Web Services" in the front of the title will gain more sales and more frustrated customers at the same time. It is simply wrong to title a book "Building Web Services and .NET applications" if only chapter 8 and chapter 14 of the 17 chapter book have anything directly to do with Web Services. The title for this book was apparently written by the marketing dept. To be honest, I have not read the book, I have just skimmed through it. However, I am not inclined to read the "What is XML" chapter or "What is XSLT" chapter. I was not under the impression that I bought a book with so many filler chapters. I will be returning it today.
