questions.... I'm a fairly basic CF user and have been watching this
"web services" term being thrown around a lot, said to be the greatest
thing since sliced bread, etc.... but can somebody give a layman's
description of what it is and maybe provide a very very very basic
example of how it can be applied? Or is it something that's just
useable on very sophisticated sites? Take this excerpt of the PDF
referenced below:
" ... Enter web services, a communication platform for applications.
By using a combination of standardized protocols, it allows applications
to communicate with each other regardless of their platform or
programming lanquage. ..." no disrespect meant to the author but that
definition is for someone who's been programming for years!
I feel like this web services thing is blowing right by me, but don't
see any need to explore it.... I read the PDF but just got more confused
as to what a web service is, since the article is really focused on CC
processing.
Also is a CFC (another new thing to me) a type of web service?
Sorry for the basic questions, but I'd like to join in this "web
services revolution" if it can help me somehow
Is there a good book that Amazon might carry for us cave dwellers that
might clarify this thing?
Yours truly,
Lost ball in high grass

Can any body point me to a good, concise beginners
tutorial/information on creating and using one's first web service in
ColdFusion?
Thanks.
