Out of date, full of errors

I have two versions of this book, this being the latest, it is way out of date to be much use Sorry, I have been fighting with the book and Windows 10 and Server 2016 and giving up. Also, I am sure it is just the requirement of the publisher, it is hard to read and follow in the Kindle edition. The sample code they supply that you download sort of resembles the code in the book

This is an absolutely awesome book to start with! It is step by step to take you through the basics.

If you're looking for a book to just show you how to do it so you can get up and running quickly then this is a 5 stars book. It will get you up and working very quickly and easily. As another reviewer states you could never have used VS ever in your life and you'll probably be okay getting things working. If you're looking for an advanced book on WCF to understand the technology better to become an expert then 2 stars. If you like the gory, low-level details then I wouldn't buy it. If you like black boxes and simple then buy it. I needed to get a project up and running fast and this book did the job. Now I'm researching other options to gain a better understanding of how to actually be knowledgeable about WCF.

This is an exceptionally good book that teaches real world WCF programming in an easy to read style. The author is really great at explaining, step-by-step, the most important steps to take in this endeavor. I was new to WCF, though not new to programming, and I didn't feel overwhelmed.Just what I needed.
