An integrated development environment to establish web services in grid computing Using .NET framework 4.5 and Visual Basic 2012

The World Wide Web has become pervasive in many facets of our professional and personal lives over a decade. Today, another Internet revolution is emerging: Grid computing. While Web offers easy access to mostly static information via Hypertext, the Grid adds another fundamental layer to the Internet, by enabling direct access to and use of underlying resources, such as computers, storage, scientific instruments and experiments, sensors, applications, data and middleware services. This paper presents readers both a concrete introduction and a handy reference to web services in grid computing, first by explaining the foundations of this new breed of distributed services, and then by demonstrating quick ways to create services with .NET framework 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012 tools. Hence in this article, you will learn the concepts of the web services in grid computing and get practical advice on building and deploying web services using Visual Basic 2012.
