Welcome

- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Patrick Royal, and welcome to Building Web Services with Java EE. In this course, we'll explore the core features and ways of thinking that will serve you well as you create and use web services. We'll cover the basics of setting up a simple web service, we'll learn about syntax, commands, and the various tools available. More importantly, though, we'll also explore some of the basic concepts behind web services, why you should use them, and how to take advantage of the unique features available through a web-based approach. We'll look at the different protocols used for designing web services, such as SOAP and REST, and the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

And finally, we'll learn about some of the extensions to web services that can increase your compatibility and integration. By the end of this course, you can expect to be comfortable creating and using a basic web service. So let's get ready for some coding with Building Web Services with Java EE.
