Hi,

I bought this book one months ago via Amazon. There few typos and I regret the last chapter about Soap doesn’t provide much about WSDL based web services, e.g. Secured Soap. I also haven’t been show any digital copy.
One last reproach would be concerning Mock Exams.. A url or a last appendix with typical questions, that would be the very top refinement for this excellent book.
Thank you for that great book

Thank you Christophe for the review. I did want to point out that you only receive the digital copy of the book when you buy directly from php[architect].
