Lot's of thoughts on Web Services today...it's no because doubt of Chris Sell's upcoming WebServices DevCon

Some great info from Sam Gentile today.  He says:

• Web Services Threat Detection from Greg Reinacker.  Interesting to have your Web Services calls siliently redirected to a "honeypot" for analysis...as with any fraud detection system, false positives would be a problem.
• Server-Side Asynchronous Web Methods
  Matt Powell shows how to make use of asynchronous Web methods on the server side to create high performance Microsoft ASP.NET Web services.

Peter Drayton offers:

• Mayank Prakash's Web services architectures: Easier said than done is a great article.  It is one of the first articles that reminds the layman that SOAP and Web Services are not one and the same.  It mentions a good example services from the W3C that uses the REST Protocol.

Sam also notes that on the .NET tip, NUnit 2.0 was released today and Lamont Adams loves C#:

• How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love C#
  Lamont Adamas: "How I learned to stop worrying and love C#-After arguing for a long time that there's no difference between VB.NET and C#, the author is jumping on the C# bandwagon."
