Back to the stuff I am working on. IBM is a very good resource for someone new to the subject. Go to IBM's website and then their Developers section and click on web services in the left hand pane. There you can choose several paths that suit your pace to learn more about this technology.
I used to wonder what the hype was about Web Services and how different it was from CORBA. Apparently there is not much to differentiate Web Services from CORBA because both were intended to be platform-independent, language-agnostic, interface dependent solutions. The catch with CORBA is that it does not rely on internet protocols for communication, which makes tunnelling a CORBA call through a firewall a pain in the neck. Web Services is designed for the internet and makes communication through protocols like HTTP a breeze.
