WCF Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ ReviewI was given a project recently to "convert the back end of an existing application to WCF and LINQ". This book, judging from the title, seemed to be the place to start. I was not disappointed.
Everything works as you go through the projects in the book. It gave me enough information to complete my project. But I do have a few complaints:
1. Not everything is explained and somethings must be taken on faith. For example in the Service Contract model one is told to set the request IsWrapped property to true. Why? What does IsWrapped do? This is never explained.
2. At various points in the book one is told to enter some code and then add using clauses. Wouldn't it be more logical to do it the other way around?
3. The index is very skimpy. I never found anything I was looking for in it.
This book is not for the complete tyro. You do have to know your way around both Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server (SQL Server Express works fine by the way). It is very useful to have some knowledge of SQL before diving into LINQ. Previous experience with services would be helpful but not necessary (I didn't have any). Previous knowledge of WCF is not necessary.
In short, a useful book, with some flaws. I can recommend it.WCF Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ OverviewMaster WCF and LINQ in a multi-tier WCF service by completing practical examples and apply them to your real-world assignments. This book is for C# and C++ developers who are eager to get started with WCF and LINQ, and want a book that is practical and rich with examples from the very beginning. Developers and architects evaluating SOA implementation technologies for their company will find this book particularly useful because it gets you started with Microsoft's tools for SOA and shows you how to customize our examples for your prototypes. This book presumes basic knowledge of C# or C++. Previous experience with Visual Studio will be helpful but is not required, as detailed instructions are given throughout the book.
