SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS, DEVELOP YOUR CAREER
Web services? You've read all the ins and outs about it. You think you have the concepts pretty well figured out. Now you are not sure where and how to start developing your first Web service. Get the answer at this free Web services workshop offered by Oracle as part of its Oracle Developer Days roadshow!
Oracle's workshop is specifically designed to get you started with your first Web service project, with a combination of presentations and hands-on labs that take you deep into the technology and let you put in action what you've learned. Oracle's experts will be available throughout the workshop to answer all your questions and assist you while you are going through the labs.
The workshop gives tips and techniques on how best to develop and deploy Web services and addresses topics such as RPC and Document Style Web services, static and dynamic invocation, stateless Web services and more. The second part of the workshop is dedicated to the new J2EE API for Web services available as part of J2EE 1.4.
Going through the hands-on labs at your own pace, you will learn how to publish a Java class as a J2EE stateless or stateful Web service, publish a session EJB as a J2EE Web service, and publish a J2EE Web service using JAX-RPC.
Space is LIMITED to the first 100 attendees. Register now for this FREE workshop. Computers will be provided by the Oracle Developer Days team with all the necessary software, so there's no need to bring your own computer.

(XM1) Introduction to XForms T.V. RAMAN, IBM RESEARCH
Tuesday, September 30, 9:00 a.m.--9:50 a.m. This presentation will introduce W3C XForms, including details about how XForms enables the last mile of connecting the end user to Web services. XForms user agents provide an easy-to-use, browser-based interface that enables the end user to interact with information technologies that have been published as Web services. As the Web moves from being a desktop-only phenomenon to a means of ubiquitous electronic access, Web transactions need to be available from a variety of end-user access devices ranging from desktop computers to smart phones. The XForms authored interface is well suited for delivery to a variety of interaction modalities and end-user devices, thus assuring content developers of the widest audience for their transaction-based applications. From the user's perspective, XForms revolutionizes the way business-critical information is collected and published on the Web, enabling information technologists to continue to model business data using abstract structures that are amenable to machine processing. XForms binds a user-friendly Web browser interface to such abstract XML models, thereby empowering the end user to edit and update these abstract structures. In this sense, XForms enables a standard Web browser to associate editable views to the underlying XML models. This ability to view and edit XML documents from within a standard Web browser is likely to prove a key empowering technology.
BIO: T.V. Raman works in IBM Research on multimodal user interfaces and is the author of Auditory User Interfaces. He is the editor of the user interface chapter of the XForms 1.0 specification and is an active participant in a number of W3C working groups including XForms, voice browser, and XHTML. His research interests are primarily auditory user interfaces and structured electronic documents, and his previous work includes AsTeR--Audio System For Technical Readings, Aural CSS, and Emacspeak--the complete audio desktop.
