Krengel Technology Offers XML Web Services Course for RPGers
Web services is a hot technology that many companies are working to embrace, but getting there may not be easy, especially if you're an RPG programmer. "[RPG shops] are looking for a way to implement XML web services in a fashion that's native to RPG," explains Jeff Skistad, marketing manager for Krengel Technology. Skistad says that he has seen better adoption from RPG folks to do XML, but they want a way to consume, utilize, and understand XML from a pure RPG perspective.
For RPGers who count themselves in this camp, Aaron Bartell, senior software developer at Krengel, has written and published a comprehensive course called "XML Web Services for RPG Programmers." According to Skistad, Bartell uses an unbiased, third-party approach (sans the marketing pitch) to explain when you should and shouldn't employ web services, what web services options are available, and how to create and implement XML web services using RPG. The course provides source code, labs, and video tutorials.
