Product Description
Getting a bunch of computers to talk to each other used to be tougher than getting a straight answer from a politician in an election year. .NET web services fixes that. A unique combination of technologies, the .NET platform for the first time makes distributed computing language independent, platform independent, and device independent. Which is a pretty big deal when you consider that applications built and run on the .NET platform are available any time, any place, and on any device—in other words, .NET equals total connectivity. It also means that developers for the Internet and intranets can now use Web services to include all kinds of amazing functionalities in a new program without having to reinvent the wheel and without needing to know anything about the business or complexity of the Web service he or she is using.
Ready to join the .NET Web services revolution? Then this book is for you. Written by bestselling computer book author Anthony Mann, it puts you on the fast track to developing amazing .NET Web serv ices. Here’s you chance to:

Reader ReviewsI got this book hoping it would help me figure out how to connect to and use a web service. I was new to asp.net and of course web services. My only previous knowledge of web services came from searches on the internet. When I got this book I skipped everything and thumbed to Chapter 9 on consuming web services where I was able to see a useful and simplified list of steps to follow in Visual Studio that helped me to successfully use the web service. Although the book describes ways to create and consume web services without using Visual Studio, I used it as a reference for use with Visual Studio. I was specifically having trouble figuring out how to include the web service in my Visual Studio project so I could reference the web service's methods. This book, through the simple list of steps (and helpful definitions of the steps themselves), helped me add the web reference to my project and use the web service's methods in my program. That was what I really needed.
