Web Services allow remote access to objects and methods over standard http
protocols.
This allows clients and servers using different languages and even different
platforms to exchange
information and invoke methods. Visual FoxPro is capable of creating
applications that can act as
servers for Web Services, and can also act as a client, consuming Web
Services. In this session,
Jack demonstrates how you can include some of the searching capabilities of
Google within your
application,  In addition, he presents X-Methods for working with stocks and
stock quotes.

 Just a couple of quick reminders....

First, the early registration deadline for GLGDW ends
this Friday, July 11. Register by midnight, CST
for only $475 - after that, the price jumps to $525.

Second, note that GLGDW is in mid-October this year,
not November like usual. So if you've been thinking
you've still got a few months to get ready, think
think again! There are only 97 days left!

And remember you can register online this year!
