Wednesday, 6 August 2008 05:52 by Peter Provost

My former team has released a new guide that is getting rave reviews from people called “Improving Web Services Security: Scenarios and Implementation Guidance for WCF”.

Some juicy quotes from reviewers:

  • “ I am new to WCF programming….The guide is very good, very useful and definitely saving us time.  It has become the central document from which we are developing. ”
  • “…. you really did a great job!  I think that every WCF developer should keep your book as day by day reference…”
  • “Very cool and extremely useful…. I can’t say enough good things about this … it’s an amazing work. ….”
  • “Awesome, phreaking, colossal… the content is unique – there is no match of it…Very timely just as WCF becomes mainstream with my customers. … It is serious booster with real world projects…”

Hi Peter,
Just wanted to post this in case anyone was looking for the hard copy.

Actually there are no plans to make this into a book at this point which is why you can't find the hardcopy link. But if there is enough demand, it may happen.
