Web Services Concepts for Managers Course

Course Summary

The Web Services Concepts for Managers training course is designed to demonstrate an overview of the key concepts, technologies, paradigms, and methodologies associated with developing a service-based platform using Representational State Transfer (REST)ful Web Services as the implementation strategy.

The course begins by examining the key motivations for both service-based platforms and web services. Next, it discusses the historical and current trends in developing services, touching on things like proprietary solutions, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and REST. The course concludes with a high-level examination of the key technologies and components used to develop RESTful service solutions.
