Preface
Many people have called XML the Next Big Thing, but when pressed for reasons why, it can be difficult to get a clear answer out of them. SOAP may be the answer, though: It has the potential to be the killer app of XML. SOAP is the best method yet of transferring data from any application to any other application across the Internet.Who This Book Is For
This book is for anyone who wants to keep their job in the field of Web technology, or is curious about XML and .NET. Seriously, the best way to survive in this economic climate is to constantly update your marketable skills and know all you can.
This book is aimed at Web developers and programmers. It will help if you know some XML already, but it's not necessary (there are some primers at the back of the book). You don't have to know anything about DCOM or Java or distributed architectures or activating objects. If you know those things, then your understanding of SOAP will be a deeper one than if you're a graphic designer who dabbles in ActionScript. The designers will not be at a severe disadvantage, though—everything is explained in full.What You Will Learn
The goal of this book is to teach you everything you need to know about SOAP and its related technologies like WSDL and UDDI, as well as SOAP's place in Microsoft's .NET strategy. Everything in this book is focused on that goal. When you're done with this tome, you'll know what SOAP is, how it works, its strengths, and its weaknesses, as well as related technologies like WSDL, UDDI, and XML-RPC, and security extensions via SSL and XML Digital Signature. Of course, we'll also discuss Web services in general and .NET in some detail.
The examples in this book are available at wire-man/soap, and you can write me at soap-dan@wire-man with your comments, questions, huzzahs, and flames.What You Will Not Learn
This is a SOAP book, not a programming book. By that, I mean that this book is dedicated to focusing on SOAP. Since SOAP is a platform- and language-independent technology, I wanted to stay away from tons of code in C++ or Java, and focus just on SOAP. Since SOAP can fulfill an incredible number of programming needs, the odds of my using an example that you specifically would find useful are pretty slim. So I decided against puffing up the book with code you'd never use, and used that room to dig deeper into what SOAP really is.
