For many people, the Internet is when they open their computer and see pretty pictures and read the associated text. But the Internet is much more than that. A web site may not show you anything at all but provide the back end of data for your desktop application, or your web site for it to function effectively.

For example let us say you are national or worldwide car rental company and you need to know where each car is going to be and organize your entire booking system. You can have your main database and brain on a web server, which serves all the office software with the required data. In this way there is a central management system on the Internet. In addition there could still be a web site on the same web server where people can make a booking and make payments. In other words, the system can provide an entire chain of office software with the back end functionality, no matter where in the world the offices may be, they are all connected together via the Internet.

Not only can a web service serve your office software, but it can also provide data to other web sites for usage. For example let's say you have a shopping cart on your web site and sometimes you need foreign currency values. Your web site can ask my web site's web services for the raw data as what the current currency value is. This all happens on the back end and all your client on your web site sees is your products displayed in a foreign currency, without knowing where the currency conversion came from.

Of course, these are just a few samples and the kind of data that can be requested is limit less.

• Use our Web services for your web or office application.
  We provide a range of data for other business's desktop applications and web sites such as foreign currencies and so on. This is constantly updated. You can create a free 30 days trial account for yourself. Click here to create the account and download the required dll file with a read me file in zip format.
• Let us build and integrate services within you organization.
  If you have a number of web sites, they can communicate with each other. Or you may wish your office software to obtain data from your web site's web service or you may connect your offices together through a main database and main brain on a web site. In this way all the various branches of your business can be connected together, no matter where they are in the world. 
• Provide web services for others for a fee.
  This is similar to the previous point above. The only difference is that you provide data for other businesses and applications for a fee. You can also use the same services for your own applications and share the costs with your clients. 

WHAT MAKES WEB SERVICES SO SPECIAL IN ASP.NET?

The biggest difference is the price. Not only are the web services relatively bug free, but Visual Studio Dot Net, which is the software being used for writing ASP.NET can generate the codes (software) for web services automatically in a number of seconds, which would normally take days or week to write manually. In addition web services in the ASP.NET use a system called SOAP and XML data. The advantage is that this is a universal language and systems other than ASP.NET can be connected to ASP.NET Services.

You must have the Dot Net Frame installed on your computer. If you have an older operating system (which is most likely the case), download this file first (it is only 1.3 MBytes) and then go to http://www.microsoft.com and download the Dot Net Frame.

SUMMARY OF WEB SERVICES

Our web services are built in the newest technologies and hence they use what we call Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL). The advantages are tremendous:

• Interoperability — This is the most important benefit of Web Services. Web Services typically work outside of private networks, offering developers a nonproprietary route to their solutions. Services developed are likely, therefore, to have a longer life-span, offering better return on investment of the developed service. Web services also allow developers to use various programming languages, such as: Java, C++, VBScript, JavaScript, or Perl (to name a few). In addition, thanks to the use of standards-based communications methods, Web Services are virtually platform-independent.
• Usability — Web Services allow the business logic of many different systems to be exposed over the Web. This gives your applications the freedom to use the web services that they need. Instead of reinventing the wheel for each client, you need only include additional application-specific business logic into the client-side. This allows you to develop services and/or client-side code using the languages and tools that you want.
• Reusability — Web Services provides, not only exploitation of the component-based model of application development, but the closest thing possible to zero-coding deployment of such services. This makes it easy to reuse current code, exposed as a web service, and reuse that code as components, as appropriate, in other services. Zero coding isn't a marketing pitch, it's a fact.
• Deployability — Web Services are deployed over standard Internet technologies; it enables Web Services to be deployed even over the firewall to servers running on the Internet on the other side of the globe. Also due to the use of existing standards, underlying security (such as SSL) is already built-in.

In simple terms: The new technology we use is compatible with any other application, no matter under which operating system it is running and in which language it is written.
