Another one that won't mean much to most of you, and that's OK.
"Web service" is a broad term that refers to a remote call to a data service that provides access to data and/or procedures that are usually on a remote system. It uses structured data for data exchange, usually XML. APT data sources availalbe include Google, Flickr, Yahoo!, del.icio.us, Amazon, GoogleAppEngine, eBay, AllCDCovers.com, ISBNdb.com and Amazon S3. There's a bunch more listed at programmableweb.com/apis/directory
I don't have a whole lot of notes, as I got a thorough handout with code samples and helpful links to a number of different places. The session itself talked about basic data calls and walked us through some sample applications using web services.
