Still at Java In Action for a little Bit. Sitting in Eugene Ciurana’s presentation right now, listening about how they implemented Axis at a company that rhymes with Schmalmart.

I did a presentation on Wednesday that covers the basics of web services. You can grab it here:”http://netzooid.com/jia/jia.ppt”. So far people have seemed to find it very useful. Its a whirlwind tour of things you need to be aware of when developing web services. It starts with the basics – XML Schema, SOAP, WSDL – and then moves on to building services, schema design, performance, databinding, etc.

I think for my next conference I’m going to think about a presentation called “web services by example”. Java developers seem to have a very hard time making the transition to the XML world. Instead of telling, I think I need to do a better way of showing development and issues you might run into. No matter what though, its hard to cover web services in a couple hours!
