Web Things, by Mark Baker

I’m now officially spending time organizing both WWW2006 and WWW2007. There should be a rule.

“Complex problems do not necessarily translate to requiring complex solutions.” Isn’t it funny how that needs to be pointed out? Not to suggest Jeff doesn’t get it though.

Rojo doesn’t export by URI either… which is why I just updated my blogroll with Bloglines’ script-importing tool; it’s not up-to-date, but it’s more up-to-date than what was there. 8-( Big +1 to Peter’s last paragraph, “So why use REST?”.

Mark asks, what’s the point of trying to get SOAP proponents to make better use of HTTP?

I hold out no hope for SOAP, but I do hold out hope that its promoters will eventually understand and embrace HTTP as an application protocol, and in doing so, the Web as a first class distributed computing infrastructure. And I figure the best way to facilitate that is to participate constructively (as best I can, given my not-quite-thick-enough-for-the-job skin 8-).

Most importantly perhaps, for me personally, these past six+ years of explaining this stuff has forced me to work out a lot of kinks in my own understanding of the Web (in combination with actually building the systems I was describing, of course).

Who was it that said that the best way to learn something is to explain it to somebody else?

Tags: soap, http, rest, web, webservices.

“The license is nothing special” WTF?!?!

Thank God. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t understand this odd fascination with XUL.

“It ought to be the other way around”. Indeed.
