*** WEB SERVICES: XML'S KILLER APP...
*** QUIT YOUR JOB AND MAKE $100,000 A YEAR WRITING WEB SERVICES!
*** by Steve Benfield

My hype meter has been revved up lately, and what has pegged it is Web
services. Who is hyping up Web Services? Hmm. Microsoft, Sun, IBM, HP,
BEA, SilverStream, Ariba, BowStreet, webMethods - my aunt Judy.

I'm expecting to see this e-mail soon: "Quit your job and make $100,000 a
year writing Web Services in this groundbreaking business opportunity." Oh
- that one might be true.

*** WEB SERVICES: THE NEXT BIG THING
*** by Jack Martin

If you search under Web Services in Yahoo! the results include religious
supplies and services, translation services, adult entertainment, and
Internet services; however, that's all about to change. Web Services are
going to be the next great thing.

*** 2001: THE YEAR OF WEB SERVICES
*** by Floyd Marinescu

The year 2000 saw J2EE compliancy move out of the realm of marketing and
into nine shipping products. The threat of commoditization of J2EE
application servers forced vendors to switch gears in 2001 toward
leveraging J2EE servers as platforms for Web Services, wireless, and EAI
development.

In a nutshell, Web Services are a way for businesses to expose their
services programmatically over the Internet, leveraging standards-based
protocols and document interchange formats to execute any kind of online
transaction. Web Services initiatives such as ebXML and UDDI are currently
the realm of early development, but should serve as viable deployment
options by the end of this year.

*** WEB SERVICES: HOW WILL THEY CHANGE COMPUTING ?
*** by James Tauber

There's no doubt about it, Web services are a hot topic in the XML world.
It's somewhat ironic that when Jon Bosak, then an online information
technology architect at Sun, brought a group of us together in 1996 to
bring the powerful concept of generic markup to the Web, Web services were
far from our minds.

*** WEB SERVICES: THE INTEROPERABILITY STACK !
*** by Simeon Simeonov

For the past six months we've looked in detail at the nuts and bolts of
XML protocols, Web Services, and XML data encoding. These are the
foundation technologies of next-generation Internet distributed
applications. In the next several months, I'll focus on another, no less
important area - higher-level description, discovery, and integration
services.

These technologies are catalysts for the adoption of Web Services. Without
them, businesses will never be able to leverage Web Services to their true
potential.

*** FROM WEB SITES TO WEB SERVICES AND WIRELESS...
*** by Phil Costa

During the past five years, application servers have emerged as a vital
piece of the Web infrastructure. By providing a set of services common to
all Web applications (e.g., state management, database connectivity) as
well as a productive set of APIs or scripting languages, application
servers have made building applications for the Web dramatically easier,
not to mention more scalable and reliable.
