Description

The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills that are required to develop Extensible Markup Language (XML) Web services-based solutions to solve common problems in the distributed application domain. The course focuses on using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft ASP.NET to enable students to build, deploy, locate, and consume Web services.

Audience :

This course is intended for experienced software developers who have previously built component-based applications.

Topics :

The Need for XML Web Services

This module provides students with an understanding of the problem space that Web services address. The module compares various approaches to implementing distributed applications. Because the Web services in this course are implemented by using Microsoft ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework, alternate options for implementing distributed applications by using the .NET Framework are discussed to better define what kinds of solutions Web services are appropriate for.

XML Web Service Architectures

This module broadly describes the service-oriented architecture, which is a conceptual architecture. Then, the module explains the roles and how Web service architectures are a type of service-oriented architecture.

The Underlying Technologies of XML Web Services

After completing this module, you will be able to describe the underlying technologies of Web services and explain how to use the .NET Framework to implement Web services by using these technologies.

Consuming XML Web Services

After completing this module, you will be able to implement a Web service consumer by using Visual Studio .NET.

Implementing a Simple XML Web Service

This module provides students with the skills that are required to implement and debug a Web service by using Visual Studio .NET

Publishing and Deploying XML Web Services

This module teaches students how to deploy and publish Web services and locate Web services by using the Microsoft Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) software development kit (SDK). A local development UDDI registry is used in the demonstrations for this module, but the mechanics of publishing and finding Web services is no different on the public UDDI registry nodes.

Securing XML Web Services

This module teaches students how to use the security services of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), and the.NET Framework and common language runtime to secure Web services.

Designing XML Web Services

This module teaches students which design issues to consider when designing real-world Web services. The issues discussed are related to data type constraints, performance, reliability, versioning, deployment in Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Application Service Provider (ASP) scenarios, and aggregating Web services. The module also discusses HTML screen scraping as a pseudo Web service.

Global XML Web Services Architecture

This module teaches students how to use the security services of the Microsoft Windows operating system, IIS, and the .NET Framework and common language runtime to secure Web services.
