For anyone interested:
A hands-on course called "Programmatic access in Java: webservices &
work flows" will be held on 24-27 November 2008 at the European
Bioinformatics Institute in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, UK. This course
will give you the skills to leverage webservice technology to access and
manipulate bioinformatics data resources and tools. You will start with
simple scripts accessing individual services and then build upon this to
create work flows to solve more complex problems in a reusable manner.
Participants will be exposed to open standards such as Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP); the Distributed Annotation System (DAS); REST
services and the BioMart web service. Several examples of specific web
services will be included, covering programmatic access to both
databases and tools at the EBI.
The course costs £75 and interested candidates are encouraged to apply
online at the URL below (the training is free, however we need to charge
participants an administration fee of £25 per day to cover food and
materials, and participants need to pay their own travel and accommodation):

This course will have a maximum number of 40 participants on a first
come first serve basis, so please register early to avoid disappointment.
*The deadline for registering for this event is Monday 27 October 2008.*
Cheers,
Andy
