Web Services

In this 3-day workshop participants will learn what Web Services are and how they can be of service to modern businesses. Also, attendees will get an introductory exposure to the core Web Services concepts and technologies. The preparatory activities that an enterprise should complete before undertaking a Web Services initiative are discussed. Emphasis is placed on de-mystifying jargon and acronyms, and presenting graphical representations of the relationships and interplay between the various architectural levels and functional components that make up the world of Web Services.

A brief review of the technological "family tree" of Web Services helps to establish a context for the current state of the technology and the industry. A review of the business requirements that are driving the evolution of Web Services helps define the "need" that Web Services are trying to fulfill. A discussion of the solutions that are being gradually supplanted by Web Services helps to define the scope of what is being replaced, and it also helps establish the minimum service requirements of any new solution.

Having established a context for the discussion, the class moves into the various functional areas of Web Services, the completeness of the specifications for the various functional levels, the locations of helpful resources regarding Web Services, the various tools useful in implementing Web Services and class exercises intended to engage and educate the participants.
