Pragmatic XML Services
There's a lot of talk about web services, and most of it falls into one of two categories: lots of low-level talk about vendor-specific tools and extensions, or lots of high-level talk that never shows you a line of code. XML services aren't that hard, and in this talk, we'll see how, why and when to do one.
We'll talk about XML (and why it's the format used), Schema (and the core subset of Schema to focus on using, along with tools to help work with Schema more easily), SOAP (and why it's really crucial to making XML services work), and more.
