It's great to say that the SOAP component of apnscp esprit is finally up and running, with a primer to help you get started (http://apisnetworks.com/esprit-soap-examples.php). It covers the basic design of it, what SOAP means to you, and of course some examples in different programming languages to help you get started. Other languages will follow in a couple days. The primer is geared towards the beginner programmer or someone with a little bit of experience wishing to enrich his or her life. If anything seems a little confusing/muddled or overly complex, just let me know.
The new control panel has an open-ended design, meaning everything you can do from the control panel directly also has a remote equivalent. Those equivalents are all handled over SOAP.
If you know what SOAP is and want to explore some of the operations already exposed, check out the interactive SOAP explorer (http://apisnetworks.com/soap-explorer.php).
You're also wondering why SOAP came up so early in apnscp esprit's development -- well I will give you a couple hints: contest and creativity. That is all I can say at this point.
I'll leave this post with an example of Serious Samurize and a PHP5 example side-by-side of what SOAP is capable of doing. Yes, that's data pulled directly from your control panel without even having to login.
