Beginning .Net Web Services with C# by Karli Watson

by Karli Watson

Beginning .NET Web Services using Visual Basic .NET guides programmers with a working knowledge of VB.NET through the development of powerful and user-friendly Web Services. Web Services build on componentization via the Internet or an intranet, enabling a calling application to implement a service without requiring it to have prior knowledge of the service offered. The opportunities enabled by this technology have ensured that Web Services hold an important place in the .NET environment and have opened up the development possibilities available to programmers. This book will help you to develop your knowledge of Web Services using a teaching style that is designed to increase your confidence as you progress through the practical examples.

About the author

Karli Watson is an IT contractor and author, currently working in London in the financial sector. For the most part, he immerses himself in .NET (in particular C#) and has written numerous books in the field for several publishers. He specializes in communicating complex ideas in a way that is accessible to anyone with a passion to learn, and spends much of his time playing with new technology to find new things to teach people about.

During those (seemingly few) times where he isn't doing the above, Karli will probably be wishing he was hurtling down a mountain on a snowboard. Or possibly trying to get his novel published. Either way, you’ll know him by his brightly coloured clothes.
