Rating: - Quite good, and what the title says
I've recently readed this book while travelling to and from work, and my goal was to learn more about Web Services, and precisely those that gave XML responses, so this book was a good candidate.
The book contains what it says: all about web services in .NET. This is good, because you can always have it as a reference book whenever developing web services.

Rating: - Great for beginners
As the suffix title suggests, this book _does_not_rush_ things; very obviously catered for novice developers, it slowly oozes out information a step at a time.

These base explanations facilitate a firmer foundational understanding that no developer of XML web services should do without.
