Hello Webservices is the use of SOAP over HTTP to bring a Service to the web. There are a lot more technologies involved like WSDL and UDDI but basically it is a way of providing the functionality of a programm/application to the web over a well defined interface. Since it is an additional layer between the app and the web which is pretty light weight it is an easy way to bring services to the web. And since SOAP is XML based it is language independend. There are SOAP Clients for Perl, PHP, Java, .NET (VB, C#, ASP) etc...
