* The essential guide to this exciting new programming language and the first book on the topic, written by one of the creators of Water programming
* Water is a new, native Web service programming language that allows the developer to program in XML syntax, replacing the different languages of the various technologies required to build Web applications
* Shows readers how to greatly speed and simplify their Web applications and Web services development using Water
* Offers hands-on tutorials with more than 100 fully functional examples of Water applications
* Companion Web site provides additional information and connects the reader with an active user community

Mike Plusch, developer of the Water language, is CTO and cofounder of Clear Methods. A language designer and XML expert, he has been building complex Web applications since 1994 for organizations such as Digitas, Harlequin, and Bowstreet, a pioneer in Web services. He holds a degree in Management and Computer Science from MIT and coauthored a chapter in Spinning the Semantic Web.
