There will be a 2-day "Web Services Code Camp" at the Sun
Burlington campus on February 19 and 20. There is no cost. There is only
room for 40-attendees, and you must provide your own laptop. To register,
please contact Bequi Gomez at rebecca.gomez@sun.com. If you are
interested, I have included the original invitation at the end of this email
message, which tells more about the code camp.

=============== Code Camp Invitation ===========

DATE: Feb. 19th & 20th
TIME: 9am - 5pm
Location: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
          Burlington Bldg. 01

This camp will provide you with in-depth knowledge on Web services and show you
how to develop Web services using Java programming language and XML, the
technologies of portable code and portable data respectively.

The codecamp will be started with the introduction of fundamental concepts and
characteristics of Web services which will be followed by the detailed
explanation on how to implement, how to describe, how to register, how to
discover, and how to invoke Web services.  The emerging standards such as SOAP,
WSDL, UDDI will be described in detail.  In addition, the ebXML standard, which
defines the framework for global electronic market place will be talked about
in detail.  Also the tools for building and deploying Web services will be
discussed.

The attendees will also learn how to use standard Java APIs, such as JAXM,  for
developing and deploying Web services and will have a chance to develop their
own Web services using these APIs and tools written in Java.

     Prerequisites:
Programming experience with Java programming language Experience using
command-line tools such as JDK[tm] in either UNIX or Windows Understanding of
basic concepts of XML, DTDs and W3C XML schema will be helpful.

Objectives: (After this codecamp, you are expected to have) Understanding on
fundamental concepts and characteristics of Web services and SunONE architecture
