Real World XML Web Services is the Visual Basic programmer's definitive guide to designing and building Web services. It provides developers with a comprehensive understanding of Web services, covering everything from basic concepts and solutions to interoperability problems. This book begins with a concise and practical introduction to Web services and the foundation on which they are built, including Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Readers learn, by example, how to use each tool for developing Web services, starting with the SOAP Toolkit and the .NET framework.

With its extra power and extensibility, XML is the Web's hot next mark-up language, destined to be the universal data format on the Web. This complete and definitive guide is written by a team of people who have actually developed full-scale XML-based applications. This is the first book on the market that uses real-world examples, explains the specifics of developing for Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers, and delivers a full explanation of the XSL specification. The companion CD contains all code and pages presented in the book, along with third-party tools.

Beginning XML provides a complete course in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) with an unusually gradual learning curve. In fact, the introduction states that the book is "for people who know that it would be a pretty good idea to learn the language, but aren't 100 percent sure why." Despite its recognition of the fuzziness of readers' understanding of the technology, the book delivers a rather comprehensive study of XML.

Very little space is wasted detailing the history of XML and its relation to SGML, as is the case in many other titles. The argument for the importance of XML is made quickly, and the basics of well-formed syntax are tackled right off. One notable distinction of this book is its excellent coverage of related technologies, such as cascading style sheets (CSS) and relational databases.
