Review title: Nice high level Web Services over view Product review: I'm buying web services books like mad it seems. This book is nicely written, OK authority and accuracy (given the 2 book or sobook back ground I have so far) but ZERO code. Not one line of java, C++or fortran. No mention of real frameworks (besides .Net by name only).How can a book be titled Understanding (any thing) and have no realworking examples, deployable components, downloadable web services based on some framework.Forget this book unless you're looking for a very high level understanding of the associated XML specs and architecture. You'll not hear about the Apache Axis project, substantive implementation details of .Net or any other framework in this book.My quest for one or two good books that cover real commercial quality design, patterns and code goes on.

Review title: If I could, Zero stars!! - DVR 310 is this the worst buy ever??? Product review: I bought this cheap and nasty "thing" and was utterly speechless to test this out before xmas, and the alkaline batteries (supplied) drained within a minute! (eh?) yes folks - it cannot do what it is upposed to do!. Avoid this at all costs unless you like hassle and losing money, by buying a proper product. Vivitar must be getting hard up. I used to use Vivitar lenses in my SLR (excellent quality) and flashguns (again excellent!). So imagine the suprise in store with this lump of you know what!.Again - Avoid Avoid Avoid, like the black death.

Review title: the sound of an axe grinding Product review: michael doesn't like different opinions. john shelby spong writes about how we christians ought not to ignore parts of the bible we don't agree with. michael especially hates the way the new testament keeps harping on about actually helping the poor, turning the other cheek, thou shall not kill, and other bon mots guaranteed to turn a klanman's face red.peddling christian hate, what a contradictory mission to be on.
