This probably sounds like a really dumb question, but here goes….Web Services, what the hell are they and how do I find what web services are available for me to develop with?
Ive searched Google for a tutorial or a list of Web Services but I dont seem to be able to find either a reasonable definition or how to go about implementing them.
Any help or links to helpful tutorials or books is, as always greatly appreciated.
There’s not going to be one big list of web services. Generally, you figure out what you want your app to do, and go looking for APIs based on that.
If you wanted to write something that hooked into Twitter, you’d have it hook into Twitter’s API. If you wanted to show the user a list of nearby locations, you might hook into FourSquare’s API.
