#======= GUIDED OPINION =======#
Web Services DevChannel: A Community for Developers http://webservices.devchannel.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/18/0729210

    As the popular media's hype over Web Services fades, developers far and     wide are quietly implementing Web Services into their applications.     More and more applications quietly boast of making their APIs available     via SOAP. Every month, new announcements for open source Web Services     toolkits appear on Freshmeat.

Developers reflect on the Web's lingua franca http://webservices.devchannel.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/11/1834219

    What if every bit of data in every computer included instructions about     its content that would allow any other computer to interact with it?     Such interoperability could unleash amazing new automation and     efficiencies in information systems, and spawn a powerful new     service-driven computer industry. For example, software might be     written that would allow a carmaker to instantly change its parts     orders across all of its suppliers to meet a sudden rise in demand for     a specific model.

JSP Quick-Start Guide for Windows
http://webservices.devchannel.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/06/138228

    JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a server-side technology that allows     developers to create Web-based applications that can make use of     components that are developed in the Java programming language,     according to the JavaBeans specification. In some respects, it can be     compared to server-side scripting languages such as ASP and PHP. JSP is     similar to PHP in the C-style syntax of the Java language, but JSP was     also designed to be extendable using components like ASP.

XSLT, Browsers, and JavaScript
http://webservices.devchannel.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/06/137230

    Most XSLT processors offer some way to tell them: "here is the source     document and here is the stylesheet to use when processing it." For a     command-line XSLT processor, the document and stylesheet are usually     two different parameters specified at the command line. Web browsers,     however, usually read a document from a web server and have no way to     separately be told about the stylesheet to apply.

Groove Opens Up
http://webservices.devchannel.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/05/1655254
