WHAT IS WMS and WFS?

[GaneshShejwal]

I am very new to mapguide . 
I have sucessfully created map /layout etc in mapguide studio and am able to
view them in the browser. i use shp files to publish map.

 I wanted to learn more about WMS and WFS. as of now i have no idea at al
what it is . i would like to learn from the scratch. I had recently attended
a interview and i was blank when the person asked me - What do you know
about WMS and WFS?

 What is WMS and WFS ? how is it useful in mapguide?  
 
  Please get me started. I searched some tutorials but could not quite
understand any thing other that they stand for  Web Map Service and Web
Feature Service.

 Please give me some reference , where should i start from.

 I am new to GIS , but i have worked a lot on ASP and VB 


 -Thanks 
GS
