  • A few months-old WSE 2.0 article

    I wanted to refresh my understanding of Microsoft’s Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0, so I started reading an old article by Aaron Skonnard. It’s really nice. I particularly liked the second paragraph: “The popularity of the WebMethod framework and others like it has nearly convinced mainstream developers that Web Services are only useful for RPC…

  • The new paragraph on REST and some more comments

    Following from my previous post, here is the revised (again) paragraph that Jim Webber and I agreed on.

  • Dare Obasanjo on “Service Oriented Architectures vs. Distributed Object Technologies”

    Dare Obasanjo comments on a James Robertson’s post entitled “MS to Objects: ‘Drop Dead’”. Then James Robertson responded. I found these links from Mark Baker’s weblog where he provides his view on the above. I am sympathetic to Mark’s views despite the fact he sees things through a REST perspective. I agree with Dare’s comments.…
