Session Title:	Web Services in Practice
Session Abstract:	Learn how Web services are used in practice by some of the popular Web services, such as Amazon EC2, eBay, salesforce.com, and Virtual Box, and the security mechanisms they use. This session covers some tips and best practices for developing and accessing Web services that are more secured, optimized, and interoperable through use of the open-source Metro Web Services framework. The session is for intermediate audiences with general knowledge of Web services. Web services are all about standards and interoperability, and already there are many tools and frameworks to make disparate applications talk to one another using Web services. But in reality, it takes more than following those specifications to talk to the Web services. Among other things, the session presents • How some popular vendors, such as Amazon, eBay, salesforce.com, and Virtual Box, are exposing their Web services and the security mechanisms they use • Some tips on using the Metro Web Services stack to talk to such publicly available services • Some best practices to follow while developing Web services and tricks to get the best performance when dealing with large amounts of data • An overview of the now maturing standards-based, policy-driven security mechanisms to take advantage of while developing next-generation Web services The presentation includes various code samples and demos.
