• Chapter 12. SOAP Web Services
  Rather than dealing with HTTP requests and XML documents directly, SOAP allows you to simulate calling functions that return native data types. As you will see, the illusion is almost perfect; you can “call” a function through a SOAP library, with the standard Python calling syntax, and the function appears to return Python objects and values. But under the covers, the SOAP library has actually performed a complex transaction involving multiple XML documents and a remote server.'

• Personal Tech: Medical Apps for the iPhone
  'After a lot of time reading "best medical apps" stories online, asking Twitter users for their suggestions and reading online reviews, I finally boiled the list down to about 50 promising apps. I tried them out and further winnowed the list to a bunch that I ultimately demo'ed in my talk. Eventually, the video of the talk will be posted at ted.com/talks, but in the meantime, here's what I covered.

  (I haven't really given them full-blown testing, so read the online reviews before you spend good money on them. Except for the free ones--you've got nothing to lose!)'
