A few quick notes on this conference I attended today and yesterday:
XML-Web Services One Conference + Expo, Boston
Zero to sixty in two quick days on web services lingo and all the rest of it.
[ Actually, I shouldn't say "zero." I'd done WSDL and had an intro to Web Services in May 2002 in my Harvard Extension School course: "e-Business Applications with XML." ]
Highly useful sessions for me to attend. Expo floor not quite as useful, but still worthwhile. And, free lunch, if you can believe in such a thing.
Thursday:
IBM Web Services Technical Briefing Day Agenda
Keynote: "Web Services Today: A Perspective" - David Chappell, Principal, Chappell & Associates
