Could anyone recommend a good quality WCF book for beginner/intermediate/expert?

Belows are the books I read, but I feel that the first book is good for the first few chapters.

The second book is really good. But it does NOT have separated code example for most of the example mentioned in the book. Thus, it is difficult to test them individually. It only shows the main code on the book, and combine all code in one solution.

Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5

Programming WCF Services: Mastering WCF and the Azure AppFabric Service Bus Juval Lowy

Edit

Is there anyone who created the code example from the second book (Juval Lowy), and would like to share it.

Or

I need to wait for the second version for this book: Learning WCF: A Hands-on Guide

Answer 1

I don’t think she has updated it for WCF 4, but Michele Bustamante’s Learning WCF is a great beginner’s book. She has step by step exercises and explanations and writing style is a tad easier to read imo.
