Some companies are leveraging open-source software like Linux, JBoss, PHP, MySQL and Apache SOAP to develop and deploy Web
services. As this open-source Web services stack continues to mature, companies
will benefit beyond simply saving money on license fees; they will be able to
assemble the stack and get a Web service up and running quickly as
well.
Developers frustrated by their enterprise's lack of Web services
interest can immediately master and build Web services at home with open-source
stack components with little investment except time and a broadband connection.
Imagine impressing your company with a demo of a wrapping that chunk of code as
an open-source Web service and calling it from a legacy Visual Basic
application. A not-to-be-missed session!
