I'm about one month in web services now. (so i'm new too)

A combo of this link(Netbeans IDE): http://www.javapassion.com/netbeans/masterindex.html#Web_services
and this book:
Advanced web services by Deitel and Deitel
(deitel and deitel is easy reading for any new technology)
may help out

Try getting one that explains developing web services from "WSDL to java";(i haven't done this yet, but i think it's important)
