The XML/SOAP book I've been waiting for

Some time ago, I wrote about woes of my XML/SOAP project: XML/SOAP is kicking my ass, and I mentioned the disappointing book Programming Web Services with SOAP (O’Reilly). Though it was good for an overview of the technology, it was nearly useless for hands-on work with SOAP::Lite.

But now the book I wanted has just come out:

Programming Web Services with Perl by Randy Ray and Pavel Kulchenko (O’Reilly). This book is fantastic, and I dearly wish it had been available six months ago. The writing style is positively delightful, the coverage looks very thorough, and this is clearly on my "A" list of helpful technology books. Managers might be better served by the first book, but this one is for programmers.

Thank you, Randy and Pavel (and O'Reilly).
