SOAP in 100 minutes
If you are an enterprise developer, then you must have came across SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
When you are first introduced to it, you drown in a ocean of terms and jargon that eventually kills the purpose of it (Simple).
In this this 100 minutes tutorial I try to introduce the reader to SOAP jargon without being stuck in the Jargon Quick sand. I try to introduce terms naturally and gradually as they are needed and as much as possible try to provide visual exhibits to reduce the number of words.
Before going through this tutorial, it is highly recommended to read the XML tutorial first.
The SOAP tutorial is available in HTML , PDF and Flash formats
This page has a list of all my tutorials.

Yeah, well, I only had a quick look at it and already found an error: SOAP hasn’t been an acronym for seven years now*. See, the finally figured out that the whole thing is too complicated to be called ‘simple’ anymore and basically bailed out by obfusciating the name.
No wonder everyone is using REST nowadays.
