<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<NumberToWords xmlns="http://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/">

1. Noise-cancelling headphones
By far the most critical tool! As much as I love chit-chatting, I, unfortunately, don’t comply with the women norm of being able to do several things at once. Whenever I code, I can’t focus if I can overhear a conversation. Even worse, the discussion is interesting or fun and I want to jump in. …

A great thing about being a developer nowadays is that you can just type your questions on google and usually find the solution you were looking for.
However, as a beginner, I often found myself looking for the same methods over and over on the internet. Whether I didn’t remember the syntax or I forgot which method I should use. Developer’s time is precious, so there must be a better way to handle this.
