✦ Synopsis

This book is really lacking on current or useful information. It's mostly a cursory high-level overview. For anyone seriously interested in web services I'd recommend getting a different book! 271 pages not counting the index or glossary. Barely shelf material of limited usefulness. copyright is 2002, but book was written well before that date or century.
