'''Why is it called webMethods?''' According to founder Phillip Merrick: ''The idea of a "webMethod" is what today we call a web service. What we (webMethods) offered was the ability to effectively make API calls (i.e. web API calls) into functions offered through web servers. Hence webMethods. Microsoft gave us a backhanded compliment some years later when they adopted the term webMethods for a web API call in .NET!''
 
The name '''webMethods''' should always start with a lowercase "'''w'''" and capitalized "'''M'''". The name follows the camelCase convention.
