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 ... (more)

.NET Remoting Essentials

Microsoft .NET Remoting is the .NET technology that allows you to easily and quickly build distributed applications.

Advanced Web Services Using ASP .NET

This session we will explore some of the more advanced areas of SOAP in ASP.NET's support for Web services. ASP.NET Web services are the preferred way for Web developers to expose Web services on the Internet. The goal is quick, easy, and high-performing SOAP services. We will look at how to use the SOAP extension classes to create some very interesting applications on top of the core SOAP architecture found within .NET Framework. For instance, you can implement an encryption algorithm or screen scraping on top of the Web Service call. We'll dig into more advanced topics, explore... (more)
