This is goodness, though I’m embarassed that it took me so long to\nget plugged into; I’m too many degrees of separation away from some\ncommunities that are important to my work. Time to update my weblog\nsubscriptions.<\/p>\n\n
Here’s what’s been said the past week;<\/p>\n\n
Phil’s done his homework on his “See also” links there; it’s a nice collection\nof snippets from the past couple of years, several of them mine. I’d also\nrecommend a presentation I gave last year to the\nWeb Services Architecture WG<\/a>\ntitled “REST Compared”<\/a>, where\nI present a simple example of a REST vs. Tuple space based solution to the\npervasive problem of turning lights on and off.<\/p>\n\n I also like what Vanessa did there, and I think that for anybody currently\ninto tuple spaces hardcore, that following through her outline of one possible\nintegration of REST & tuple spaces would be very informative about how the Web\nrelates to their work.<\/p>\n\n Patrick seems stuck with how to reconcile his position that generic abstractions\nare a good thing, but that systems should be built independent of the protocol. Note to\nPatrick; this is all well and good for transport<\/em> protocols, but application\nprotocols define the abstraction<\/em>; for them, protocol independence requires\nthat you disregard that abstraction.<\/p>\n\n What I like most about this meme is primarily that it implicitly eradicates\nthe myth that the Web and\/or REST is just for humans. Even if you don’t know – or want\nto know – about tuple spaces, it should hopefully pique your interest that a bunch\nof bright folk in the large scale distributed software composition space – where\nthere’s no humans in the loop – are looking at REST.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is goodness, though I’m embarassed that it took me so long to get plugged into; I’m too many degrees of separation away from some communities that are important to my work.
