Understanding Web Services. I just took a break from writing my own book to catch up on my web-services reading. Although I previous did a quick read-through of Eric Newcomer's Understanding Web Services, I finally read it thoroughly. It was even better the second time. Definitely, the best introduction to the topic. And tonight it's #319 on Amazon. Well done, Eric.

Stored Procedures: A Web-Services Goldmine. Jon Udell discovered the treasures of corporate assets locked up in database stored procedures. In the past, developers used stored procedures only as required for performance or other reasons, knowing they were creating something implicitly non-portable. (OTOH, do many Oracle PL/SQL developers really cary if their code runs on Microsoft's SQL Server?) But it's true: with web-services wrappers, suddenly stored procedures become available to any application, internal or external. This approach can yield improved performance while enhancing security. And think of the thousands of stored procedures that are already coded, waiting to be wrapped. Yum.
