This book will therefore serve as both an introductory title and an in-depth reference that will grow with the reader as they begin to create their own Web Services. They will come to understand what Web Services are, where they fit into the 'big picture' and will have many coding examples to choose from within the first five chapters. As they begin to "get serious" about developing enterprise level Web Services, they will be able to refer back to the detailed information about the classes that implement Web Services and come to a deeper understanding of what is happening behind the scenes.
This title takes a straightforward approach to teaching the hows and whys of XML Web Services and builds upon the skills learned in each successive chapter. The intent is to give readers a competitive edge in creating new and innovative software solutions before the competition has even heard of them. It includes coverage of XML, XSD, WSDL, SOAP, UDDI, and DISCO and ASP.NET.
XML Web services are the next logical step in the evolution of the Internet. Teach yourself how to write and deploy XML Web services for Microsoft .NET--one step at a time--with this modular, accessible tutorial. It delivers expert, task-based instruction plus a real-world XML service example to help you apply what you already know about Microsoft Visual C#, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, and object-oriented programming so that you can learn XML Web services development at your own pace. Topics covered include: UNDERSTANDING XML WEB SERVICES XML Web services architecture XML Web services protocols Web Service Description Language (WSDL) Discovering XML Web services BUILDING XML WEB SERVICES Writing .NET XML Web services Testing XML Web services Debugging XML Web services CONSUMING XML WEB SERVICES Discovering XML Web services Generating a proxy class Creating clients that consume XML Web services Consuming XML Web services asynchronously Consuming XML Web services with HTTP ADVANCED XML WEB SERVICES Managing XML Web service state Securing XML Web services Using data sets with XML Web services Using SOAP headers
This complete, comprehensive reference is for both experienced Perl programmers and beginners. The book includes all the basic documentation for the core Perl languages.
XML is everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, from Remoting to Web services and from data access to configuration. Learn about the extensive XML core classes in .NET and find out how to program against its parser in this in-depth guide--written by a popular programming author and consultant on cutting-edge technologies such as Microsoft ASP.NET and Microsoft ADO.NET. You'll find authoritative explanations of technologies such as schemas, transformations, and XPath, plus extensive discussion of data access issues such as synchronization and serialization, the DiffGram format, and the XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Along the way, you'll learn exactly how to get the best performance out of XML in the .NET world. You'll also get answers to common questions such as, "When should I use XML Web services instead of Remoting?" Topics covered include: XML CORE CLASSES IN THE .NET FRAMEWORK The .NET XML parsing model XML readers and writers Validating readers and writers XML Schema XML DATA MANIPULATION The XML DOM in .NET XPath XSLT XML AND DATA ACCESS XML extensions in SQL Server 2000 DataSet serialization The DiffGram format APPLICATION INTEROPERABILITY The XML Serializer .NET Remoting XML Web services XML data islands Configuration files
Get on the fast track of what will become a virtually required skill for software developers - the ability to create Web Services and the applications that consume Web Services.
This book takes enterprise developers inside the architecture, protocols, and programming practices for building distributed-object Web Services. The authors also step readers through building a high-end Web Service of their own, using real-world examples and proven strategies. All the book's code examples appear on the companion CD-ROM.
Getting a bunch of computers to talk to each other used to be tougher than getting a straight answer from a politician in an election year. .NET web services fixes that. A unique combination of technologies, the .NET platform for the first time makes distributed computing language independent, platform independent, and device independent. Which is a pretty big deal when you consider that applications built and run on the .NET platform are available any time, any place, and on any device—in other words, .NET equals total connectivity. It also means that developers for the Internet and intranets can now use Web services to include all kinds of amazing functionalities in a new program without having to reinvent the wheel and without needing to know anything about the business or complexity of the Web service he or she is using. Ready to join the .NET Web services revolution? Then this book is for you. Written by bestselling computer book author Anthony Mann, it puts you on the fast track to developing amazing .NET Web serv ices. Here’s you chance to: Discover XML and SOAP Master the .NET Framework and .NET server Create, test and debug Web services using Visual Studio .NET Implement your Web services throughout an organization or on the Internet Secure your Web services Find and consume Web services that were written by other developers Written in an accessible, easy-to-read format, supplemented with dozens of screen shots and highlighted tips and shortcuts, .NET Web Services For Dummies covers all the bases for beginners and intermediate .NET users alike. Important topics covered include: How Web services can benefit your organization Using the .NET framework, .NET server, Visual Studio .NET, and all the tools and technologies on the .NET platform Designing, building, testing and deploying Web services Migrating from other technologies Your total guide to bridging the digital communications gap .NET Web Services For Dummies gets you up and running in no time with the knowledge and skills you need to develop sophisticated Web service applications on the Microsoft platform.
The emerging Second-Generation Web is based entirely on XML and related technologies. It is intended to result in the creation of the Semantic Web, on which computers will be able to deal with the meaning ("semantics") of Web data and hence to process them in a more effective and autono mous way. This new version of the Web introduces a multitude of novel concepts, terms, and acronyms. Purpose, Scope and Methods This dictionary is an effort to specify the terminological basis of emerging XML and Semantic Web technologies. The ultimate goal of this dictionary is even broader than just to define the meaning of newwords - itaims to develop aproper understandingofthese leading-edge technologies. To achieve this, comprehensible definitions of technical terms are supported by numerous diagrams and code snippets, clearly annotated and explained. The main areas covered in this dictionary are: (1) XML syntax and core technologies, such as Namespaces, Infoset and XML Schema; (2) all the major membersofthe XML family oftechnologies, such as XSLT, XPath and XLink; (3) numerous XML-based domain-specific languages, such as NewsML (News Markup Language); (4) the concept and architecture of the Semantic Web; (5) key Semantic Web technologies,such as RDF (Resource Description Framework), RDF Schema and OWL (Web Ontology Language); and (6) Web services, including WSDL (Web Services Description Lan guage) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
