Cool Web Service and XML links
Know the best sites to learn about these critical .NETtechnologies.
By Paul Litwin
A key technology duo in .NET is XML and Web Services. Inthis installment of Around the Web, I'll share with you some cool Web Serviceand XML links.
http://www.learnxmlws.com:For some great articles on XML Web Services, you must stop by Yasser Shohoud'sexcellent XML site (Yasser wrote an article on UDDI, "Keep Web Service CallsCurrent," which appeared in the September issue of asp.netPRO; you can read it online at http://www.aspnetpro.com/features/2002/09/asp200209ys_f/asp200209ys_f.asp).At this site, you can read articles on WSDL, WS-Security, UDDI, and more. Youalso can download a bunch of samples and try out some interesting Web services.
http://mobile.eraserver.net:Mike Amundsen (one of asp.netPRO'sSharpShooter columnists and creator of eraserver.net) has put together a greatset of Web services with sample clients that target mobile devices. Use theservices from your phone, PDA, or regular old browser to look up a ZIP code,find a movie in your area, get a weather report or stock quote, perform areverse telephone lookup, get driving directions, perform a Google search, orcheck out how close that tropical storm is. My favorite: the Starbucks locator.Do you know where your closest latte is? Check them all out and/or download thesource code.
http://www.xmlforasp.net:Another great site that specializes in XML and Web Services is run by another asp.netPRO columnist, Dan Wahlin. Checkout his site, which is chock full of articles and sample links on XML and WebServices.
http://www.perfectxml.com/default.asp:PerfectXML is another XML and Web Services site I like. This site is alsofilled with articles, samples, demos, and news.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnservice/html/service09172002.asp:This is a nice article on SOAP faults written by Microsoft's Scott Seely.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/bdadotnetarch16.asp:Web Services isn't the only .NET technology for running code on a remotemachine. It can be tough to figure out when it's smart to use Web Services andwhen it's a better idea to use .NET remoting. This article on the MSDN Web sitewill help you decide.
http://www.microsoft.com/india/msdn/dotnet/art-netframework1.asp:If you'd like a good introduction on remoting, check out Bipin Joshi's MSDNarticle. Joshi also authored this remoting walkthrough posted to his ownDotNetBips site: http://www.dotnetbips.com/displayarticle.aspx?id=130.
