You Will Learn How To
- Develop highly scalable distributed applications with XML Web services
- Build standards-driven SOAP and high-performing REST services
- Process XML documents with System.Xml library classes
- Describe and publish Web services using standard protocols (SOAP, WSDL)
- Leverage Web, Windows and AJAX Web service client technologies
- 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.
