Loosely Coupled:
The Missing Pieces of Web Services
by Doug Kaye

Hardcopy or eBook? Your Choice!

As an alternative to the hardcopy edition—which you can purchase from bricks-and-mortar and online bookstores—we offer Doug's latest book as downloadable PDF files at a substantial (up to 63%) discount off the hardcopy price.

We've selected PayPal as our payment technology.

The eBook download prices for Loosely Coupled are as follows:

  • Entire book: US$14.95
  • Major parts (4 total): US$5.95 each
  • Individual chapters (21 total): US$1.95 each
  

From the time you purchase the eBook version, you have 7 days during which you can download the content up to 10 times. The PDF files can be printed, but the text cannot be copied or modified.

With its focus on the advanced topics of web services, Loosely Coupled covers a lot of ground. The book is organized so that you can read it in sequence, but you may find that you're more interested in certain topics than in others, and therefore prefer to jump around. Either approach will work.
