Yep, that’s 689 pages you see there… Yet with that depth, the eBook is organized very usefully and feels approachable. I dig the fast track, how to’s, check lists and Q & A sections as those help me jump right to the areas I’m interested in.

This is a book you’d see on the bookshelf, yet is free for the download. If you’re doing WCF, this book is easily well worth a read, if not in-depth examination.
