Hi Jon,
Try the above.  I go to the O'Reilly site for short, decently
technical articles on new topics.  This one is pretty good.
My issue with Web Services?  Why did "they" have to pick such
a generic label?  I remember when Service used to mean that 
you'd get your tires checked when you pulled into a gas station.
