WCF 4.0 Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ to Entities

Question

I saw a new book is coming called " WCF 4.0 Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ to Entities ". Did anybody have a chance to read this book? The previous book from the same author seems to be good ( WCF Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ ).

I am the author of this book and would like to introduce you to this new book. This new book is a hands-on guide to learn how to build SOA applications on the Microsoft platform using WCF and LINQ to Entities. It is updated for VS2010 from my previous book WCF Multi-tier Services Development with LINQ. With this new book, you can learn how to master WCF and LINQ to Entities concepts by completing practical examples and applying them to your real-world assignments. This is the first and only book to combine WCF and LINQ to Entities in a multi-tier real-world WCF service. It is ideal for beginners who want to learn how to build scalable, powerful, easy-to-maintain WCF services. This book is rich with example code, clear explanations, interesting examples, and practical advice. It is a truly hands-on book for C++ and C# developers. You don't need to have any experience of WCF or LINQ to Entities to read this book. Detailed instructions and precise screenshots will guide you through the whole process of exploring the new worlds of WCF and LINQ to Entities. This book is distinguished from other WCF and LINQ to Entities books by that, this book focuses on how to do it, not why to do it in such a way, so you won't be overwhelmed by tons of information about WCF and LINQ to Entities. Once you have finished this book, you will be proud that you have been working with WCF and LINQ to Entities in the most straight forward way. You can see how much I have helped others to learn WCF and LINQ by reading the Customer Reviews on Amazon for my previous book. You can read a sample chapter from this book on the publisher's website at http://www.packtpub.com/article/implementing-wcf-service-real-world . You can also read another article of mine here on C#Corner's website at http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mikeliu88/1977/Default.aspx .

I just bought this book. The first chapter is all theories, but the second one is pretty good. Now I have finished chapter 2, I can understand what WCF is and I actually have developed a WCF service with a test client. Will keep reading it in next few days.
