Overview

SOAP-based Web Services allow applications and trading partners to exchange information over the Internet using industry standard technologies such as HTTP and XML. Microsoft's .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET provide the tools to create highly functional Web Services with relative ease. Though you may be familiar with previous technologies such as Active Server Pages and Visual Basic®, this book will walk you further through creating and consuming simple Web Services. As the book progresses, new concepts are introduced that will help you gain a better understanding of the core concepts XML Web Services are based on, including SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, DISCO, and .NET. The book includes dozens of step-by-step examples illustrating how to extend your Web Services to introduce advanced functionality. All examples are provided in both Visual Basic .NET and C#. Most importantly, this book demonstrates the power of Visual Studio .NET for enterprise developers who wish to accelerate the rapid development and consumption of Web Services.
