Product Description

Review
"Although the book is aimed at Perl programmers interested in Web Serices, some of the protocols are described clearly enough that the book may also be useful for programmers in other languages, such as PHP or C/C++. If you are such a Perl programmer then this book is "Highly Recommended", indeed, almost essential." - Tim Pushman, CVu, June

Product Description
This volume is written for Perl programmers who have no prior knowledge of Web services. No understanding of XML-RPC or SOAP is necessary to be able to apply these technologies easily, through the use of publicly available Perl modules detailed in the book. Given Perl's natural fit for Web applications development, Perl is also a natural choice for Web services development. It's the most popular Web programming language, with strong implementations of both SOAP and XML-RPC, the leading ways to distribute applications using Web services. This book aims to change that, bringing Perl users all the information they need to create Web services using Perl. The book concentrates on what is useful and practical. It introduces the major Web services standards, such as XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, and shows how to implement Perl servers and clients using these standards. You'll find detailed references on both the XML and SOAP toolkits, and learn when to use one technology in favour of the other. The book is rich with programming examples that you'll find useful well past the learning stage. And, moving beyond the basics, the book offers solutions to problems of security, authentication, and scalability. Some of the topics covered in the book are: HTTP and XML basics; XML-RPC and the toolkits; SOAP and toolkitsp; SOAP::Lite; using SOAP with SMTP and other protocols; advertising and the REST methodology; and the future of Web services.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 24 Jul 2006
By Andrew G. Walsh (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the last reviewer's comments about too much time being spent discussing how clever the interface is. I would much prefer that they presented a toolkit whose interface was straightforward. I don't care if there are multiple, clever ways to do the same thing. It just makes the learning process that much more difficult. Because most of the SOAP-related Perl code they show is using SOAP::Lite, the book has to be judged considering the quality of that module and its documentation. With every previous Perl module I've downloaded from CPAN it has been possible to put something together relatively quickly based on the code provide in the SYNOPSIS section. This was not true with SOAP::Lite. I bought this book expecting it to make up for the poor documentation provided in the PODs for the SOAP::Lite package, but I found it did not help much. Disappointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars superficial explanation of developing Perl clients, 13 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This book gets off to a good start with a background explanation of SOAP, but then when they get to a description of writing a Perl client, which must be the most common reason for buying the book, it all goes wrong.
There is just one chapter on writing a Perl client.
There are a few short examples, that suffer terribly from 'look how clever the toolkit is' syndrome, with no real explanation of how you tackle writing your own clients from scratch given details of a service. It also assumes you are a reasonably strong Perl programmer, which is probably a drawback from some readers.
Then almost the entire second half of the book is devoted to writing servers, which I wasn't interested in.
Sorry guys, but this book didn't help me out much at all with learning how to write Perl clients for web services.
