You have learned SOAP, what's next?

This tutorial has explained how to use SOAP over HTTP to exchange information between applications.

You have learned about the different elements and attributes in SOAP messages.

You have also learned how to use SOAP as a protocol to access web services.

The next step should be to learn WSDL and Web Services.

WSDL is an XML-based language for describing web services and how to access them.

WSDL can describe a web service, along with the message formats and protocol details for this web service.
