About the Talk

Title
Externally Hosted Web Services
Abstract:
Providing a Web service is easy. All you need is a Unix box, the Apache Web server software and tools to create HTML pages. However as Web services develop organisations find themselves under increasing pressure to implement new facilities, which may cost money or require technical support - resources which may be in short supply in public libraries. In this talk Brian Kelly describes a range of externally hosted Web services which can provide a range of services for little or no cost and which require minimal technical support. Is this too good to be true, or is there a catch?
