Can someone show me a good source for exploring web services?

Question

Currently I don’t know anything about web services, except that they are used so that the application can share its functions.

• Where and how to start?
• Does any book on web services work with me if I use PHP as a programming language?
• Does anyone know any IRC channel?
• Does anyone know a directory for beginner tutorials?
• It's complicated?
• Do you need a lot of time to find out?
