Ever wanted to spice up your website a little bit but never considered Flash as one of the options? Then you are probably like me, I always thought that embedding any Flash content in a website, let alone Joomla!, is a cumbersome and error-prone process that requires way more work to justify the gain. Well, this book made me reconsider my opinion, showing me that using Flash together with Joomla! is not only easy, but is often a reasonable and sensible choice.

I have decided to write a series of articles on DPWS because there are only few resources available on the Internet and I would like to make it more accessible to newcomers. First let’s have a look on what DPWS is:

DPWS stands for Devices Profile for Web Services. It is essentially a subset of Web Services that a device must implement in order to ensure Web Service capability and compatibility while imposing only minimum requirements upon the device itself. DPWS was first introduced by Microsoft in 2004 and is now being developed jointly by individuals across the IT industry and a new version was standardized by OASIS in June this year.
