Last week I created two screencasts that demonstrate the Applied Informatics Remoting toolkit, which is based on POCO. Remoting allows you to easily implement network services, object-based IPC and SOAP web services in C++ by writing C++ classes with special annotations. A code generator then does all of the heavylifting. See it all in my screencasts: Remoting in 15 Minutes and SOAP Web Services with Remoting.
