...particularly a weather service. i'm working on several little projects for myself and would like to create a web interface similar to what watson can do...mainly to create some more sophisticated perl and php applications as a learning experience for myself.
i'm looking for major/accurate sources for weather, news and such. i've already played with xml feeds from places like slashdot and peoples' personal blogs but i'm looking for more. also, playing with the google search and amazon api's is something i've looked at as well.
i'm assuming most of this is done via xml and the soap protocol (which i need to learn more about...). anyways, thanks for the pointers...oh, and free sources if possible please.
thanks

You should check out XMethods.
They have a pretty good public list of available web services to play with.

Wait for Jaguar, it should have a WebService framework for developers, making things like this much easier.

Or, you could just download the Java WebServices developer pack and get right to work with the richest set of XML, XML-RPC and SOAP APIs around.

signatures are a waste of bandwidth
especially ones with political tripe in them.

i understand already that there's some access to soap methods now via appletalk now, however in terms of portability, this most likely won't be running on an osx box...it might, but i can't necessarily rely on frameworks available only on this system...

...guess that's all the more reason to be learning java as well.
though the api's aren't the problem, as perl and php both have a number of various packages and classes to handle soap/xml/rpc stuff.

The Java Web Services Development Kit is a good place to start, but there are other options. Apple does have SOAP and XML-RPC implemented within the Apple Events framework. I believe that I remember hearing somewhere that Apple is going to release a web services framework for Cocoa and Carbon clients.
I've started to use Sun's JWSDK but my interest lies in writing Objective-C Cocoa apps, not Java-based, so I hope there's a more native solution coming from Apple.
