See how to create SOAP-enabled applications and what makes the protocol so alluring to Web and distributed application developers.

Be sure to see our SOAP page for enhanced demo code!

With Mark Stiver

Take SOAP to a new level and learn how this awesome protocol is used within the .NET. Framework to implement full-bodied Web Services. Includes introduction to WSDL and provides many VB.NET and C# examples.

Also check out our .NET Web Service page for errata items and maybe more code!

This hot new technology, now a part of Windows Vista, is one you can take advantage of in your own applications! This book starts you off by showing you how to build workflow applications and incorporate workflow concepts in your Windows applications, whether they are Windows Forms, Windows services, or even ASP.NET-based.

Be sure to check out my Windows Workflow Foundation page for errata items as they come up.

What is old is new again, or so it seems to me. Representational State Transfer, or REST, uses the basic capabilities inherent in the Web ecosystem to transfer data and information. Services your applications call return representations of resources that you can manipulate. In this book, Scott and I show you how you can use .NET to it's fullest as we explore every technology available in .NET 3.5 for performing RESTful tasks. You'll learn about the basics, such as how to work directly with HTTP, designing URI's, and how IIS and ASP.NET work on the inside. Then we look at implementing several different RESTful services using ASP.NET handlers, the ASP.NET MVC framework, Windows Communication Foundation, and even Windows Azure for cloud-based RESTful implementations.

Of course we have our REST page for errata and source code download.
