Web Services coverage includes several technologies such as SOAP, WSDL, and Java-based development tools that are likely tincrease in importance in coming years. Multiple types of exercises in each chapter - Includes exercises, research/exploration problems, and projects. Numerous examples illustrate nearly every concept covered - Examples are often small, illustrating a single concept, with larger examples provided as needed tdemonstrate how concepts can be integrated and/or tprovide motivation.
