Beginning .NET Web Services with VB.NET

Beginning .NET Web Services using Visual Basic .NET guides programmers with a working knowledge of VB.NET through the development of powerful and user-friendly Web Services. Web Services build on componentization via the Internet or an intranet, enabling a calling application to implement a service without requiring it to have prior knowledge of the service offered. The opportunities enabled by this technology have ensured that Web Services hold an important place in the .NET environment and have opened up the development possibilities available to programmers. This book will help you to develop your knowledge of Web Services using a teaching style that is designed to increase your confidence as you progress through the practical examples.
