WS130: Web Services Overview Seminar (1/2 Day)

Course Overview

The first wave of the Internet delivered information to people. The second wave, being accelerated through the use of Web Services, delivers information to systems and opens up new ways of transacting business processes and delivering business services. This overview looks at the fundamental web service technologies supporting this second wave of the Internet, discusses some of the issues which adopters of these technologies are facing and examines the myriad of emerging technologies and standards which may play important roles in future web service based systems.

Core technologies discussed include: SOAP, the Simple Object Access Protocol; WSDL, the Web Service Description Language; and UDDI, the Universal Description Discovery and Integration system. We also examine the emerging technologies proposed to support security, transactions, notifications/events, reliable messaging and managing resources.
