具体描述

Programming WCF Services is the authoritative, bestselling guide to Microsoft's unified platform for developing modern service-oriented applications on Windows. Hailed as the definitive treatment of WCF, this book provides unique insight, rather than documentation, to help you learn the topics and skills you need for building WCF-based applications that are maintainable, extensible, and reusable.

Author Juval Löwy -- one of the world's top .NET experts -- revised this edition to include the newest productivity-enhancing features of .NET Framework 4 and the Azure AppFabric Service Bus, as well as the latest WCF ideas and techniques. By teaching you the why and the how of WCF programming, Programming WCF Services will help you master WCF and make you a better software engineer.

Learn about WCF architecture and essential building blocks, including key concepts such as reliability and transport sessions

Use built-in features such as service hosting, instance and concurrency management, transactions, disconnected queued calls, security, and discovery

Master the Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus, the most revolutionary piece of the new cloud computing initiative

Increase your productivity and the quality of your WCF services by taking advantage of relevant design options, tips, and best practices in Löwy's ServiceModelEx framework

Discover the rationale behind particular design decisions, and delve into rarely understood aspects of WCF development

"If you choose to learn WCF, you've chosen well. If you choose to learn with the resource and guidance of Juval Löwy, you've done even better... there are few people alive today who know WCF as well."

--Ron Jacobs, Senior Technical Evangelist for WCF, Microsoft Corporation

用户评价

这本书的排版布局简直是教科书级别的典范。我尤其欣赏它在处理代码示例时所下的功夫。每一个代码块都有恰到好处的留白，关键的API调用或者需要特别注意的配置项，都被用粗体或者不同的字体颜色做了强调，使得我们在快速浏览或对比不同实现方式时，眼睛能迅速捕捉到核心信息。更贴心的是，作者似乎预料到了我们在实际操作中可能会遇到的环境配置难题，在涉及具体部署和调试的章节，他总是会附带一些“陷阱警示”的小方框，用一种略带幽默的口吻提醒读者：“小心！这里的防火墙设置常常是罪魁祸首。”这种极度注重实操细节的写作风格，让我感觉作者不仅仅是理论大师，更是一个在生产环境中摸爬滚打多年的老兵，他的经验分享比单纯的官方文档要来得更具温度和实战价值。

刚翻开目录的时候，我心里咯噔了一下，感觉可能要啃硬骨头了。那些章节标题，比如“基于消息契约的深度解析”、“面向服务的架构设计原则在WCF中的实践应用”这类描述，立刻将我带入了一个需要高度集中精神才能理解的领域。但出乎意料的是，作者在第一章并没有直接抛出晦涩难懂的代码片段，而是用一种非常平易近人的方式，像是拉着一个略懂.NET基础的同行在咖啡馆里聊天一样，循序渐进地勾勒出了WCF技术栈在整个企业级应用生态中的战略地位。他没有急于展示“怎么做”，而是先解释了“为什么必须这样做”，这种由宏观到微观的讲解顺序，极大地缓解了我初学时的畏惧感，让我觉得即便是复杂的概念，只要按照作者的节奏走，也并非遥不可及，这对于一个希望系统化学习技术的读者来说，是极大的福音。

这本书在对不同通信模式的对比分析上，展现出了非凡的洞察力。它没有仅仅停留在对SOAP和REST这两种主流风格的简单介绍，而是深入挖掘了如何在特定的业务场景下，比如高并发的金融交易系统，或者需要严格事务保证的内部数据同步，去精妙地权衡和选择最合适的绑定（Binding）和传输协议。作者似乎有一套独门的“决策树”，清晰地引导读者根据延迟要求、安全性级别以及互操作性需求，来确定是采用NetTcpBinding还是更通用的BasicHttpBinding。这种提供工具和方法论的教学方式，而不是仅仅给出固定答案，极大地提升了这本书的长期价值。它不仅仅是一本教我如何敲代码的书，更是一本教授我如何进行架构选型决策的指南。

随着阅读的深入，我越来越发现这本书的价值在于其对“服务契约（Service Contract）”的哲学思考。它不仅仅关注于如何定义接口，而是花了大量的篇幅讨论如何设计一个真正具有高内聚、低耦合特性的服务边界。书中探讨了如何通过精简的数据交换格式来优化带宽，以及如何设计具有良好版本兼容性的消息体，以便在不中断现有服务的情况下平滑升级系统。这种对契约的重视程度，让我意识到WCF的强大之处并不仅仅在于其复杂的配置和丰富的协议栈，而在于它如何强制开发者去思考软件组件之间的交互逻辑和长期演进的稳定性。读完这些章节，我感觉自己对面向服务编程的理解，已经从一个“工具使用者”提升到了一个“架构设计者”的层次，这对于职业发展来说，无疑是一次宝贵的思维升级。

这本书的包装设计真是让我眼前一亮，那种深邃的蓝色调搭配简洁的字体，透露出一种专业又不失现代感的味道，拿在手里沉甸甸的，感觉分量十足，不像有些技术书籍那样轻飘飘的，一看就知道内容是经过精心打磨的。我特别喜欢封面上那几行抽象的、像是代码流动的图案，虽然我还没有深入阅读，但光是视觉冲击就已经让我对接下来的学习充满了期待。它放在我的书架上，立刻提升了整个书架的“技术含量”，让人忍不住想去翻开它，探究里面到底藏着怎样一套构建现代分布式应用系统的秘籍。这本书的装帧质量也相当不错，纸张厚实，油墨印刷清晰，即便是长时间翻阅，应该也不会出现字迹模糊或者纸张轻易损坏的情况，对于经常需要查阅技术资料的我来说，这是一个非常重要的加分项。

通过通读这本书大概了解了WCF, 从本书的组织来说不够清晰，只能做参考书。
