One of the key ideas behind the .NET strategy is the concept of software as a service, or in short, Web Services. This session will explain what a Web service is and provide an overview of its related technologies like XML, SOAP, and UDDI. We will demonstrate how the .NET Framework makes it easy to implement them for new and existing applications. This session will also provide concrete best practices for building XML Web services using Visual Studio.NET. We'll answer many common questions like: How will my Web service scale? How can my XML Web services enable interoperability with Web services from other vendors as well as within my own organization? We'll delve into building highly reliable and secure Web services. Also, we will discuss issues such as dealing with complex data types using WSDL (Web Services Description Language), as well as securing SOAP messages using encryption. We'll see how developers can use enterprise level XML Web Services to simplify customer solutions.
