Here's a Websphere User Group talk (actually two talks) that should complement them nicely on the practical side.
Everyone in the JUG is invited to attend free of charge - no RRSP required - just show up!

Triangle/RTP WUG Mar. 30 - Web Services Best Practices and Performance
Stan Cox, IBM
March. 30, 2004
WebSphere Web Services performance - past, present and future
Are web services ready to be used for production applications?
- How do Web services compare to other distributed technologies (E.g. RMI/IIOP)
- Where should web services be used?
- Which standards are ready to be used?
- What are some key gotcha's?
IBM Building #500 Cafeteria Research Triangle Park, NC
6:00 p.m. Gather, Networking, Light Food and Drinks sponsored by Strikeiron
6:15 p.m. Brief Presentation on Web Services Tools by Strikeiron
6:30 p.m. Main Presentation - Web Services Best Practices for Performance
Stan Cox works constantly hands-on with IBM Web Services benchmarks and modeling. He spoke to us in 2002 on the Trade application that IBM has implemented in various architectures and configurations, to illustrate Best Practices for designing with EJB's and J2EE generally. His talk then was full of real how-to specifics and was very well received, so we are delighted to have him back to do the same in the Web Services area. You will get real practical Web Services knowledge from this talk, built upon an outline of sound Web Services architectural principles that IBM recommends for development.
J. Stan Cox is a senior engineer in IBM's WebSphere Application Server performance group. Stan received a Master's degree in computer science from Clemson University in 1992. .
Our refreshment sponsor is Strikeiron, and they could easily give a main talk themselves. They are a nationally-successful web services startup based here in RTP, with innovative tools for Web Services that are proving popular and are already well-known. . We can only give them under 15 minutes this time, before the main talk, but they will use the time to outline their innovative approach to Web Services.
So you will get a double Web Services benefit from this meeting. We expect a good turnout.
See the directions below and map at http://www.rtpwug.org/download/RTPsitemap.pdf
The meeting is FREE to all - no RSVP is needed.
Directions to the Meeting
Distance from Raleigh (17 miles) / Durham (8 miles) / Chapel Hill (12 miles)
From I-40, take Exit 280 - Davis Drive. At the end of the exit ramp, take a right (North) onto Davis Drive. Continue straight on Davis Drive for about 0.5 miles. Take a right on Cornwallis road. Go about 1/2 mile, you will cross over railroad tracks. At the IBM gate keep to the right.
If the rightmost gate is down, press on the intercom button and tell the remote guard that you are attending the WebSphere User Group meeting, and give him your name. He will open the gate for you. Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." Our IBM host is Greg Ackerman.
Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." It should be the third road on the left. It can be a little tricky, so please allow some extra time the first time.
You will see a visitors' parking lot. Turn in and park, and walk to the Building 500 lobby.
Be careful not to go too far (the second Tivoli building is too far) or you will find yourself on a one-way exit ramp and have to drive back around.
