Web Things, by Mark Baker

Damn, is this for real?!

An example of how Axis2’s “REST support”, isn’t.

A Grid-type embraces the Web.

A hilarious, unpublished (in papers) Dilbert.

Nooooooo!

“ACM has three distinct member grades to recognize the professional accomplishments of our members”

My thoughts *exactly*

“with REST, this turns out to be easy to fix”. I have to disagree that this is a quality of REST. One could easily build that capability into specs looking a whole lot like SOAP/WS-*, but you’d still have a crappy architecture.

I’m speechless.

Yeah! 8-) (via Libby Miller)

You’ll always be invited to my parties, Nelson 8-)

“Which brings to mind that it was ten years ago at that same conference (different name then) […]” I think it’s due another name change; “Web Data 2007” anyone?

Will wonders never cease?

“When requests for new features overwhelmed Last.FM’s small staff, the company made the bold decision to create open interfaces to the site, and soon independent developers began piling in with enhancements.” Nice.

Using all the right buzzwords, and avoiding all the wrong ones. Sounds like fun.

Robin gets indoctrinated?

Apparently he finds karma.

Good interview, including a good anti-complexity anti-WS-* bit. (@16:30).

“OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page.”. v2.2 released.

Mark falls a peg on my respect-o-meter.(not to worry Mark, you’re still way up there 8-)

OMG, this would be hilarious if weren’t so true. “Well, this new style isn’t actually written down anywhere.” Bingo! ROTFL!

“Please do not play this game. We cannot stress this enough” 8-)

“When I first met Web fundamentalists, I found them irritating, because they would not debate on technical grounds. However, they have ultimately proved to be entertaining.” I aim to please! 8-O

“But be careful, RESTifarians can be extremely meticulous when discussing the finer points of REST[…]” 8-) But seriously, that’s the point; REST is extremely tightly defined because it has to be.
