Gde Rai Adi Anak Agung Indonesia The course broadened my knowledge in web service as well as in SOA. The theory and exercise material were all well explained and easy to follow. Thanks a lot Mr. Sang Shing for the time and dedication
Joe Miao P.R.China Mr. Shin, thank you very much for offering this great course online. I appreciate your time and efforts. Go Passion.
Leonardo Campanale Italy A great learning-by-doyng experience. I would describe it with the "passionate" words of Leonardo da Vinci: "I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Marcos Romeiro Hryniewicz Brazil This course has been great and very useful to me because besides keeping me up to date with Web Services and SOA related technologies, I could study, review the lessons and do the homework any time I wanted, and also be able to exchange e-mails with "java passionates" from almost all around the world. I would like to congratulate and thank Sang Shin for this!
Qingran Li China Thanks for you to privide a so helpful course.
Ravikanth Krovvidy India Thanks so much for introducing such a complex course in a well organized way. You are truly a java champion!!!!!!!
Robert Antonius Henru Indonesia This course really helps in compiling all the SOA-related technology and put them into a step-by-step approach. It doesn't cover all, but it covers the essential where you can research more. Thank you Sang Shin! That's very much helpful!
Robert Corrigan USA Excellent course.  The material is presented in a logical fashion, with each module building on the last in a cumulative fashion.  Mr. Shin takes the student from first principles (e.g. what is XML?) all they way to some very cool emerging technologies such as BPEL and IEP.  I was able to use the knowledge almost immediately in my day job.  In addition to being a web services course, it also serves as a grand tour and tutorial of the Glassfish tooling in NetBeans.  I had created some basic web services for JBoss-WS with Eclipse and was impressed by how much more polished and user friendly the Sun IDE is. The course was paced appropriately--the two week breaks are necessary as there is quite a bit of coursework.  It will take as long as Mr. Shin tells you to get to the end of the course.  I would advise not racing too far ahead in any case as the later homeworks may not be posted until a couple of weeks before the scheduled module. The only thing I would point out that may help future sessions is that many of the samples are hard-coded to interact with port 8080.  I'm not sure if I'm unique but my out-of-the-box Glassfish server used port 13563 instead.  On occasion, especially in homeworks where the WS-monitor XML sniffer was involved, this required some onerous digging to find and change all the port references. Thanks, Mr. Shin.  I'll definitely be signing up for another course.
Sushant Verma Indian This course has been great because of the wide coverage of the topics and practical approach of learning. Lab session and home-works gives you great practical knowledge and it was truly a great experience for me. Thank you so much Sang Shin for your great work!!!
Tarusina Liudmila Ukraine The only one of its kind. It is plan of action in the world of WebServices.
Todd A. Johnston USA I would like to thank Sang for providing a valuable resource to the Java Community !  The course covered a wide range of topics that provided me with a pragmatic approach to learning Web Services and associated technologies.  As a software professional, I feel equipped with the knowledge to take on developing SOA applications at a level beneficial to the organizations I work with.  To some it up, JavaPassion ROCKS !! - Thanks
Vidyalakshmi Ramanathan India Highly organized course contents and lab exercises/homeworks are the fascinating part of this course. It takes real hard work and effort to give some thing like this. Thank You, Sang.
Vytenis Bivainis Lithuania This course covers a lot of topics. It mostly gives an overview of technologies and existing Java libraries related to web services (which is very useful), but it's impossible to learn to use them in a few months. The exercises are very easy and do not require much knowledge. My computer is old and slow, so using NetBeans was hard, as most of the time I had to wait and not to work.Thanks for the course, it was very useful. You must be very industrious to prepare such a course, and to prepare such amount of courses.

Adebiyi Kuseju Nigerian I have taken part in a number of courses offered by Mr Shin, and I want to say I am very impressed. For those who are looking for introduction to some of the java related technologies, I strongly recommend his courses.
Aguedo Hernandez Venezuela Excellent introduction to the Web Services world!! This is the second Sang Shin's online course that I take and, once again, I have to say that it was a great learning experience. Thanks a lot to Sang Shin and his group.
Álvaro Velasco Fernández Spain This course has been useful to know a bit deeper about the web service world.
Andrea Maietta Italy I would like to thank mr. Shin very much for his wonderful job: this course presents a lof of high quality material and gives you a very good idea of web services and related technologies. Moreover, you can find a huge collection of focused references to other material. Highly recommended.
Anup Francis Indian This is one of the most awesome courses I have taken in java. I am so impressed with the teaching methodology being used that I have become hooked on two other courses, ajax and j2ee programming with passion!... Way to go, Sang Shin...
Borut Korosin Slovenia This was a nice introduction to many technologies connected with web services.
Carlos Tejo Spain I really enjoyed the course. It has a lot of information and the feedback provided for all the participants was great. I guess that I will repeat another course of Javapassion. One thing that maybe would change: homework could be more difficult
César Vargas Argentina Hi Sang, The course was very interesting and this made me grow professionally. Thank you for the effort and time spent at this time.
Christopher J. Baldoza Philippines This was another great course. I found this very useful in building my web service competence. Thanks Mr. Sang Shin! Program with PASSION !!!
Constantin Drabo Burkina Faso Never be so excited to take course such Webservice code camp !
Daniel Calderón Mexico Ths is a great course because is the only place I've found on the internet that doesn't only teach you about the concepts of the technologies of interest, but also it saves you the hard time of figuring out the necesary back-ground of technologies necesary to understand it. It's also very valuable the real-life orientation of the presentations, and the focus on undertandig the technologies more than learn its API. Thank you very much Shang Shig for this free-course. I kind of feel like in debt.
Edras Pacola Brazil Great course. Not even a nice introduction of web-services but explains the background knowledge and give us extra information in each class about this technology.
Elsbeth Hartmann Germany Thank you for this course. I learned a lot of interesting and new things.
Glen Mazza United States Thanks for the great course, Sang!
Iván Yáñez Marquina Spain Thank you very much for having found the time to gather so many different aspects related to such a recent technology as the WebServices, and for having made them available in a course like this. This has allowed anyone with almost no knowledge of them, to build up the skills from scratch so as to be finally able to understand smart ways of development. Congratulations for it!
Iveen Duarte Guatemala This has been a great experience, I have learned a lot about Web Services which are becoming a trend in current application development.
Jerome Roberts USA I have learned an enormous amount about Web Services and the new NetBeans 6.0 by taking this course.  Thank you so much for you time and providing such a great opportunity.
Jesús García Sáez Spain This course has been great!. ps: REST is really cool!
Joanne Mao USA This is a great course and I truly appreciate your efforts in the course. Meanwhile, I feel that the samples are too basic-level. If we can somehow have more advanced level of samples or homeworks, then we can understand more deeply about the knowlege points and thereby benefit more from the course. But again, this is a truly good and helpful course.
John Darby USA I wanted to learn how to build Web Services and use them outside of ICAN. I think I 'm beginning to understand.  I need to learn more about using Ant and why we build Web Services from scratch.
Juan Angel Vanrell Argentina I really like this course, I think every java programer must work in it.
Karssen Simon Belgium This course offers a lot of information about the current web services technology. If you are interrested in this subject and don’t mind to do some further reading, experimentation and being persistence, this course is made for you.
Luca Oddi Italy Javapassion is a real opportunity for beginners to acquire a new technology and for professionals to improve their knowledge.
Manuel Pérez Vega Argentina This is a great course because you can learn how to do a web service in a very easy way, olso you can test it, as well.
Michal Holečka Slovak Republic Well Sang , gread idea to provide such course. I appreciate your hard work for us newbies.  This course gave me good overview about web services but it needs to be more stable in terms of NetBeans bugs/ problems with versions and such.  Thanks.
Michael Phoenix USA I definitely learned a lot from this class. My one criticism is that some of the topics seem to be concerned with technologies that are not very mature and these "bleeding edge" technologies tend to be difficult to work with and not very stable. Focusing on getting more in-depth with widely-accepted technologies would probably be more useful for those getting started with Web Services.
Nuno Oliveira Portugal Thank you for this fantastic course.
Peter Gelderbloem UK/South Africa This course gave me a nice overview and a practical understanding of the vast area that is Web Services
Peter Schönhofen Hungary Many thanks for this great course which provided a hands-on experience with the most current web technologies
Roger Kang Ren United States of America Ths is a great course because I have learned a lot of knowledge from it such as  XML Schema , XSLT, WSDL ans JAX-WS, etc. There are many good labs and presentations which you spent your much time to prepare. I should thank you very much for your a lot of hard work. God bless you !
Rudi Gruteke Netherlands The course was interesting as an introduction to the web services area. The course is only a start, it will cost much more time to really explore this subject of web services. The course is also very usefull, because we really want to implement it in our work, though we need more information about Java and .NET interoperability and the possibility to transfer bulkdata (files like Word, PDF and CAD files with large size) using a web service. Thanks for your course and effort
Sean Strand Cork County Cork Ireland This is a great course because it is most beneficial in the never ending process of learning, within the area of communications and also with a far greater reference to the use and understanding of Java, as working within NetBeans 6.0.
Tim Leonard USA This is a good course covering a wide array of topics related to Web Services.  The technology is in a state of continuous change and Sang has done a good job in providing both lecture and lab materials.  Thanks for all your efforts, Sang. I have a suggestion for future iterations of the course.  You spent a fair amount of time on XML, but I feel that the uses of the SOAP protocol need more time.  I found that the tutorials on WSDL and various sources you cited were invaluable in understanding the underlying use of SOAP.  I suggest that you rely on these tutorials to augment and reinforce the concepts of your slides and the labs – perhaps adding the tutorials as sections in the lab.
Vladimiras Makarovas Lithuania Great job, Sang! Your course provides a precise map for further learning.
Wing Kee Kan Hong Kong Thanks for Sang Shin's comprehensive, up-to-date and coherent course design and resources, I have gained enough basic knowledge to continue my quest on Web Services in the shortest time possible. Picking up skills on Netbeans and Glassfish is a bonus.
Xianglei Dai People's Republic of China Thank you Sang for the great course! I am now having a better understanding of the changing world of web services! Thank you!
Yury Bubnov Russia This course is a goot start point to learn WebServises.
