If all things should go positive, I will be addressing the Malaysian Independent Developers (MIND) Usergroup Community on May 7th 2005 in Microsoft Malaysia, which is located in KLCC Petronas Twin Towers (which incidentally are the world's tallest towers)

This is the first time INETA APAC has activated any member of its Speaker Bureau out of their localhost(127.0.0.1)-application-domain (sorry for the geek slang...) I am preparing a 4-hr marathon session on nothing BUT Web Services. Some of the sessions are deep technical 400 series and it is definitely not a session for the faint-hearted nor the casual observer on a Saturday afternoon. This would definitely be an angle-bracket fest.

My proposed topic abstracts are as follows:

WS-Yesterday - History and Evolution - by William Tay

• SOAP vs others as a Distributed Computing protocol
• Service-Oriented Application Programming
  • Lessions Learnt
  • Applied Principles

WS-Today – Demystifying WSDL and Best Practices (Part 1 and 2) - by William Tay

• What is WSDL ?
• Critical role in Service-Orientation
• Core Elements and Definitions
• Discovery Views
• Best Practices
• Coming soon to a parser near you:
  • WSDL 1.2 ?
    …or is it…
  • WSDL 2.0 ?
  • WSDL concepts in Indigo

WS-Tomorrow – Service-Orientation, Indigo and you - by William Tay

• Indigo in Theory
• Core Indigo Concepts and Principles
• Indigo Messaging Model

The slides are here. Go geek out.
