MOC 2524

3 Days

Description
The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to develop Web Services based solutions to solve common problems in the distributed application domain. The course focuses on using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft Visual C# .NET, Microsoft ASP.NET, and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) to enable students to build, deploy, locate, and consume Web Services. This course is intended for experienced software developers who have previously built component-based applications.

Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must have:
An understanding of how to read and write Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents.

Experimented with simple C# applications. Developed distributed applications using Microsoft Visual Basic, Java, or C++.

Performance-based Objectives
After completing the course, students will be able to:
Explain how Web Services emerged as a solution to the problems with traditional approaches to designing distributed applications.

Describe the architecture of a Web Services-based solution.

Describe the underlying technologies of Web Services and explain how the Microsoft .NET Framework can be used to implement Web Services using these technologies.

Implement a Web Service consumer by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Beta 2.
