2. Why is Web Services technology so important?
“Web Services are to computers what Web Sites are to people…”
Web Sites are the universally accepted way for people to interface with computers over the Internet
Once you know how to use one Web Site, you know how to use them all
You don’t care what sort of computer and software a Web Site is running on
There are Web Sites for every conceivable application, from information-only to full-scale business applications, including finance and commerce.
Web Sites provide solutions that nobody imagined possible before Web Sites existed.
