Understanding
the basics of XML is necessary if you want to work in SOAP. The basics
of XML and the basics of SOAP should be clearly explained in an XML
SOAP tutorial.

We know
that SOAP is a protocol that is used for communication between different
applications that reside in different servers of different environment.
Since the message that is passed using SOAP is in the XML format it
is not difficult for the applications to understand that and it is even
human readable text format.
There are
tool kits available for working with SOAP. You can use these tool kits
to expedite the process of developing your application using SOAP.
The tutorial
for XML and SOAP should provide you with code samples in different programming
languages so that the user can choose the language of their choice to
experiment what they have learnt. That tutorial should also make you
understand about the XML RPC standards and compare it with that of the
SOAP.
