Professional C# Web Services: Building .NET Web Services with ASP.NET and .NET Remoting
Professional C# Web Services: Building .NET Web Services with ASP.NET and .NET Remotingby Andrew Krowczyk, Zach Greenvoss, Christian Nagel, Ashish Banerjee, Thiru Thangarathinam, Aravind Corera, Chris Peiris, Brad MaianiPerfect Paperback: 550 pages Publisher: Wrox Press Inc ISBN: 1861004397; 1st edition (December 2001) Web services are perhaps the most important feature of .NET development. They take componentization to a new level by allowing method calls to be made over the Internet or over an intranet using standard protocols such as HTTP and SOAP. This means that the calling application needs to know nothing about the internal implementation of the service - a web service built in C# on the .NET platform will (in theory) be indistinguishable from one built on Linux using Java. The .NET Framework provides two ways to build web services - ASP.NET and .NET Remoting. Unlike most books on web services, this book covers both of these technologies in depth. .NET Remoting web services require a little extra effort to build, but they offer us greater flexibility. They allow us to use different encoding and channels, and they can be hosted in any application, not just IIS. This book covers: This book covers building web services and web service clients with both ASP.NET and .NET Remoting. We also look at the generic protocols used by web services - SOAP, WSDL, and we discuss discovering web services using Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI). Case studies illustrate the integration of web services into an application, and demonstrate how to create a custom channel sink to apply cryptography to a Remoting web service. From the Publisher: This book is for anyone who is interested in building web services using the tools supplied with the .NET Framework, and wants to look at both of these technologies. If you are only interested in ASP.NET web services, you should consider buying Professional ASP.NET Web Services instead. Prior knowledge of C# and the .NET Framework is assumed.

Customer Reviews Good Read on Web Services in .NET, December 18, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Chicago, IL I've been waiting for a book like this to come out, and I'm quite happy with this release from Wrox. Well written and much good material resides within. I highly recommend it! Needs a bit of polishing, March 25, 2002 Reviewer: wingo from Ramsey, NJ USA Although this book contains a great deal of useful information on using .Net Remoting, it is a little rough around the edges and in obvious need of further editing. Like many Wrox books I've owned, it shows signs of being hurriedly released. And though I think that producing a book on such a vast subject as Web Services is better accomplished with the efforts of multiple authors, a better effort should have been taken to blend the different chapters so that they flow more smoothly and do not repeat the same material. Also, I refuse to believe the pizza delivery example needs to be as awkward as it is. We might as well stick with COM if we have to jump through hoops like these to get objects to talk to each other. All-in-all though, considering what little is out there and the book's useful content, I would recommend it. But I do hope it's more polished in the next edition. Multi-Headed Wrox book lacks focus, March 24, 2002 Reviewer: Michael A. A. Schall from Santa Clara, CA USA While this book does cover C# and Web Services in reasonable detail, it does so in a poorly organized manner. For example, descriptions are often repeated in detail across chapters probably due to multiple authors and a lack of total vision. This book is an example of Wrox's problem with delivering multi-author books that are focused and well executed. The best book about Web Services with C#, January 18, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from Bucharest, Romania I am a "Microsoft-oriented" software developer just upgrading my Windows DNA skills to .NET. After reading a lot of general material about .NET, VB.NET and C#, this is the first book that really enlightens me in several areas concerning enterprise and distributed programming with the latest Microsoft technologies. Like another reader noticed, I agree that the Remoting part is great, along with many nice chapters such as "Web Services as Application Plug-Ins" and 2 complete case studies. If you have been working with .NET for a while and want to get yourself into more serious aspects of .NET, I think reading this book is the next logical step you should make. |
