Anyone heard of this concept. Currently reviewing technical design documents which seem to talk a lot about them. Are they a 'thing' or is this just developer waffle.

No whoosh from me. -
An example of a Web Service is the "Log Out" button on the top menu bar, when YOU press it you will do this part of the web a service

Mods, can this please be moved to General so it can be issued the contempt it deserves?Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyComment

They've been around for quite some time. They're a 'thing' in that they allow you to encapsulate different parts of your site in discrete components.
Last clientCo used them a lot.Comment

A web service can be almost anything. Generally speaking it's a web-based application (that is, it serves up content over HTTP) which is used to perform a service of some kind to other web-based applications.
For example, in the industry I work in, almost everything is a web-service. This is the way things are moving, especially with PCI compliance and security, you no longer have websites talking directly to databases so now web-sites talk to the application tier which in turn talks to the DB tier.Comment

These are adding a huge percentage onto estimates, what would the impact be of removing them on an average project? Could they be replaced with common libraries to reduce effort?Comment

Your questions don't make any sense really.
If it's a greenfield development, I can't for the life of me see why they add a percentage unless the developers are using the project to learn about web services.These are adding a huge percentage onto estimates,
What's an average project? What industry? Who is working on the project? What is the duration of the project? What is the specification?what would the impact be of removing them on an average project?
It's not possible to answer that without seeing the design documents and specification.
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? We don't know your architecture, environment etc.Could they be replaced with common libraries to reduce effort?
I'm going to call Troll on this.Comment

I had to change some web service code just there, add a drop down to an existing html form that sends an extra attribute to an existing web service.
20 fookin' files I had to check in there.
