start web services

[chen young]

Hi,

Could somebody please recommend sites where I could learn all about web services? I'm using the WebSphere for development purposes, and I would like to ask if it better to start with the eclipse for practice purposes? Or is there no difference?

I'm probably biased, but the best place to learn WS is of course right here on JavaRanch. OK, that was a joke

I wouldn't think that the choice of IDE makes a big difference when you start out with WS. In fact, I'd recommend to start without an IDE, being they tend to abstract away a number of details which you really need to learn order to develop WS. Some introductory articles to WS and other helpful material is linked in the Web Services FAQ here on JavaRanch.
