Standard<br \/>\nbodies may wrangle and platform vendors may preach, but at the end of the<br \/>\nday what are the technologies that are actually in use, and how can<br \/>\ndevelopers incorporate them into their own applications? Those are the<br \/>\nanswers this book delivers.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The heart of the book is a series of projects, demonstrating the use and<br \/>\nintegration of Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, FedEx, and many more web<br \/>\nservices. Some of these vendors have been extremely successful with their<br \/>\nweb service deployments.  For example, eBay processes over a billion web<br \/>\nservice requests a month.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Iverson focuses on building 8 fully worked-out example web applications<br \/>\nthat incorporate the best web services available today. The book<br \/>\nthoroughly documents how to add functionality like automating listings for<br \/>\nauctions, dynamically calculating shipping fees, automatically sending<br \/>\nfaxes to your suppliers, using an aggregator to pull data from multiple<br \/>\nnews and web service feeds into a single format or monitoring the latest<br \/>\nweblog discussions and Google searches to keep web site visitors on top of<br \/>\ntopics of interest by integrating APIs from popular web sites.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Real World Web Services&#8221; doesn&#8217;t engage in an intellectual debate as to<br \/>\nthe correctness of web services on a theological level. Instead, it<br \/>\nfocuses on the practical, real world usage of web services as the latest<br \/>\nevolution in distributed computing, allowing for structured communication<br \/>\nvia internet protocols. As you&#8217;ll see, this includes everything from<br \/>\nsending HTTP GET commands to retrieving an XML document through the use of<br \/>\nSOAP and various vendor SDKs.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting O&#8217;Reilly book: Real World Web Services Will Iverson Publisher: O&#8217;Reilly ISBN: 0-596-00642-X, 222 pages, $29.95 US, $43.95 CA http:\/\/www.oreilly.com\/catalog\/realwws\/ &#8220;The core idea behind &#8220;Real World Web Services&#8221; is simple: after years of hype, what are the major &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/2004\/11\/17\/book-oreilly-real-world-web-services\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16784],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-digital-humanities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/hag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
