Web Services

This lesson shows students how to add dynamic content to their web applications using XML and XQuery. Students will build on their prior knowledge of SQL and the python http-client from previous lessons to create XML documents, generate schema, and access that data without a database.  Students will work in groups to design and develop a web service driven application. Work is guided through discussions, guided practice worksheets, and a final project presentation to the class. Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the role of protocols and the W3C in the developing the internet as a 21st century tool for collaboration.
