Summary
Microsoft .NET is software that connects information, people, systems, and devices. It enables new levels of software integration through XML Web services: discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other—as well as to other, larger applications—via the Internet.
This downloadable article summarizes the features in the Windows Server 2003 family that enable the level of connectivity now possible through XML Web services. It concludes with schematic examples of how you can use XML Web services in a broad range of scenarios such as running a company payroll, securing the best price for materials from partners, reserving seats at a movie or restaurant, customizing services for mobile devices, and finding and playing an opponent in an online game.
