Building Web Services with .NET 2.0: Hands-On

Course: 508   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Develop highly scalable distributed applications with XML Web services
  • Process XML documents with System.Xml library classes
  • Describe and publish Web services using standard protocols (SOAP, WSDL)
  • Leverage ASP.NET for rapid development and monitoring of Web services
  • Build high-performance multithreaded and Web clients
  • Secure XML Web services using encryption and authentication

Course Benefits
XML Web services connect corporate applications in the same way that the Web connects people to information. The .NET Framework enables organisations to benefit from the service-oriented architecture of XML and Web services. This hands-on course provides the skills needed to build XML Web services and clients with .NET. You learn to rapidly create scalable and secure service-oriented applications, as well as practical techniques for processing XML.

Who Should Attend
Those who are or will be working with or evaluating Web services. Familiarity with the Visual Basic or C# programming languages is assumed.

Hands-on Training
Exercises, presented in VB and C#, include:
  • Creating scalable Web services
  • Deploying and configuring Web services
  • Consuming Web services from multithreaded and Web clients
  • Rapid application development with data binding
  • Tracing SOAP messages
  • Updating a database via Web services
