Even though web services are one of the most important current technologies for data integration, there are few resources for basic instruction in information systems curricula. This paper briefly reviews limited past pedagogical articles for instruction of web services. Next, it presents a detailed tutorial on two specific web services projects implemented in Visual Studio and ASP.NET. The projects are first a consuming web application using third party public web services. It simply obtains date and time and is consumed in a webform.aspx application. The second is a simulated travel agency example where students develop SQL Server databases, stored procedures, and expose web services. Another student then develops a web application that consumes the different web services that the students have developed. All detailed instructions and screen prints are provided to accomplish these two projects. The paper concludes with limited lessons learned from the pedagogical exercises.

Keywords: web services, service-oriented computing, XML, service-oriented architecture, ASP.NET, Visual Studio
