Product Description
Product Description
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.
From the Back Cover
Get on the fast track of what is becoming a required skill for software developers--the ability to create Web Services and clients that consume them. Web Services leverage standards such as XML, XSD, SOAP, and WSDL to enable interoperability across programming languages and platforms. They work well to integrate applications on an intranet and on the Internet. Visual Basic .NET, coupled with the .NET Framework, is an attractive environment for Web Services architecture because it provides for rapid development and easy maintenance.
This book explains each of the standard protocols needed for Web Service interaction on the client or server. These protocols include SOAP, Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI).
Creating and Consuming Web Services in Visual Basic® also includes
- Information on how to shape SOAP messages and the data they contain
- Explanations of how to create applications that consume Web Services
- Detailed case studies that explore how to use Web Services to help solve real-world B2B and B2C problems
- Thorough coverage of development concerns such as security and availability
- Instructions for how to create and consume Web services in earlier versions of VB and convert legacy applications to a Web Services platform

Great coverage for VB.NET devs
19 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
I just got this book and more or less tore through it. The book does a great job explaining the ins and outs of creating Web services with VB.NET. I especially appreciated the great coverage of using attributes to shape the WSDL and data used in the Web service. The book really helped me out a lot. Highly recommended.

Web Services for VB Folks--it's about time!
25 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
If you are like me, you may have thought that the only good Web service support for ASP.NET was offered through C#. The three guys who wrote this book show that this just isn't true.
The book doesn't spend too much time on the protocols-- instead it explains how to use them from VB. If you need to understand the SOAP and WSDL real deeply, get a different book like Seely's SOAP book from PH-PTR. This book is about writing Web services, nothing more or less. The chapter on SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI is nothing other than an overview. Hey, you've been warned.

Excellent on-ramp for VB devs to move to .NET
8 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
If you are a seasoned Visual Basic developer with no familiarity with .NET, C#, or Web services, this book will get you where you need to go with a minimum of theoretical explanations and examples that are straightforward and to the point. It provides a quick overview of key concepts and then plunges into practical instruction that brings VB 6 experts up to the latest rev. You don't have to learn a new language to take advantage of .NET services. I work with Deon and have worked with Eric, and they not only have the understanding but the technical chops to back up what they are saying here. Buy the book, don't wait for the movie.
