This book contains some excellent information about ASPNET AJAX and WCF. However the downloadable source code does not match the examples in the book and some do not work. If the reader intends to go step by step with the author, he cannot quickly move from the book to observe a running application that demonstrates what is being taught. The source code presentation in relation to the books presentation is disjointed and a serious problem. If the source code were more compatible with the flow of the book, I would give this book a higher rating. (Note, I am only on Ch 03, but find this extremely frustrating)

Someone in the review stack has written that after reading you will hate AJAX, WCF and SOA. That's very true - and I read only three chapters! It is written in a very contrite and dull manner, and after reading few chapters your eyelids start to droop. Coming to the technical side, he gets data from the database throgh WCF, and use complex javascript and XSLT coding to display data on the aspx page. Is it not beating the purpose of n-tier architecture, where all the business logic should be in the business layer and the aspx page should simply display the data without much scripting or code? To display data in a gridview you simply drag the control and bind the data with a few lines of code. But according to the methods described in the book, you have to write lines after lines of scripting to display the data. WHY? This book may be OK, after you have a good understanding of SOA and WCF, and somehow enjoy writing several lines of scripting to display data.

As developers we should all be very, or at least somewhat, familiar with the Microsoft Patterns and Practices documentation. If you are not, let me rephrase my previous statement ... YOU SHOULD BE. With that in mind, that is the context of which I believe Daniel Larson has written his latest book, Developing Service-Oriented AJAX Applications on the Microsoft Platform. The book is, as stated by the publisher, very code-heavy which in my opinion is the way books and documentation should be written. I learn more from seeing the "written word" than just reading about it in a bunch of fluff-n-stuff paragraph writing. Good job Daniel on not so much fluff, but a whole lot of stuff.Daniel is known for his Microsoft SharePoint expertise. Daniel has stepped out beyond that and really shown us what some of the best patterns for architectural design are for service-oriented applications. He starts us out in the first three chapters by discussing the "who" and "what" so that we have a good foundation which to build upon. The middle three chapters then begin the "why" and "where," which to me were some of the most important sections. I learned more from those three chapters. And then for the dessert, Daniel gives us the "when" and "how" in the last five chapters.The one aspect to Daniels book for which I am most grateful for are the "Case Study" examples that he has included in each chapter, beginning with Chapter 8, Building AJAX Controls. I have always found that this type of example can really drive home the information that is being provided to the reader. In my own experience as a college and Secondary-level instructor, the most useful technique for student learning is the ability to apply the information to a "Real World" example or situation. This allows the students to apply the information and develop what Jean Piaget, and other Constructivism theorists, consider accommodation and assimilation. The students are allowed to learn and incorporate the new information into new or pre-existing knowledge bases. I wish there could have been more "Case Study" examples included in the previous chapters to Chapter 8. Not necessarily as thorough as the examples from Chapter 8 on, but just to include some personal experiences from Daniel's own work or others. There are "Tips," "Notes," etc. that are included, but just not quite the same. Hence, this is why I am giving the book four stars instead of five.Daniel wrote in the Introduction, "This book is written to explain the service-oriented AJAX architecture pattern - and is not a comprehensive reference to the complete Microsoft AJAX Library, ASP.NET, and WCF" (p. 18, para. 5). While this may not be an all-comprehensive reference, I believe that Daniel has given us the foundation that we, as developers, can build quite easily upon reading this book. Where you go from here is completely up to you, but Daniel has given you the foundation required to begin developing the service-oriented applications. By keeping this book as a handy reference, you can utilize much of the information included to search for certain aspects, techniques, or sequences you wish to pursue to gain further understanding and development.I would suggest this book for anyone who has the desire to begin exploring the position of building or extending service-oriented applications as this will be a good starting off point. You will learn the various Microsoft technologies that are available and how to get them to work together to create richer and stronger applications. After this book, you can continue on to get more in-depth coverage of some of the aforementioned technologies. Daniel has opened the door for you by writing this book. It is up to you to read, understand and then step through the door onto a pathway that will lead you to becoming a developer you have only thought about becoming.

MSFT has a tendency of providing a plethora of options to develop the same kind of application, and not all of them good. I really appreciate Daniel's calling out for the pure AJAX approach of developing today's websites, rather than using AJAH techniques like UpdatePanel, and at the same time he explained well the benefits: REST responses' cachability, decoupling of the services and UI, the re-usability of the services, etc. Around the same time I have also reached the same conclusion myself, after much frustration with the lack/difficulty of direct control from server controls and their post-back model, AJAX control toolkit (which until recently is still a server programming experience) and UpdatePanel.Overall this book is excellent; there's some minor room for improvements like the index doesn't seem complete; I find myself spending more time than I should searching for stuff in the book since index is pretty thin. Also the only part I'm not as sure about what Daniel said is on the client-side data-binding using XSLT; it kind of defeats the purpose of compact response of the readily usable JSON data. The up-coming MS AJAX 4.0 has the client-side templating feature that parallels the server control's templating scheme; perhaps that's probably a better approach (granted I still have to study on these client-side data-binding options more).MSFT is finally coming back on the right track and embracing programming in HTML, HTTP, and Javascript rather than the leaky abstraction that is the web form, and this book is very helpful in programming in this pure and more effective way.
