Duncan Cragg...

...has spent the last two decades finding ways to explain that programming needn't be limited to:
Threads, Message Queues, Client-Server, CORBA, Web Services, SOAs, Agents, Synchronous Architectures and Imperative Programming

...worked for ThoughtWorks UK from April 2002 to July 2007 and now works for the Financial Times as a Web Application Architect

...is writing a book called 'The Reality Web', about our digital future

...went to both UCL and Imperial College of the University of London (in the Eighties); specialising in Logic during his MSc.

...got hooked on the idea of 'microcomputers' nearly three decades ago, then designed and built one using the 1802 chip, 512 bytes of CMOS RAM, eight switches and eight LEDs

...supports the Open Rights Group, Open Source and Freedom generally

...wonders when his LinkedIn Account will be useful

...loves Django so much he built this blog on it

...has a phone-cam, and used it on himself once, just before his weekly shave:

The Rebels vs. the Empire...

The enemy keeps changing. Bloated 'enterprise' technology has constantly changed form to try and outwit us. First DCE, then CORBA, next J2EE and now:

Google Micro Conference October 5, 2007 11:22 Last night's Google London Open Source Jam (also here) was on the subject of the 'Web' (didn't they invent that? Oh no, that was Microsoft). This event has been getting better and better each time I've attended. There were some very interesting lightning talks held together with a tight structure and plenty of chance to chat, drink cold Leffe and eat cold pizza. And nick [transatlantic translation: 'steal'] the Green & Black's chocolate. An ideal Micro Conference... ...

Although eBay have what they call a 'REST' interface, it is, in fact, a STREST interface, and only works for a few of the many function calls that they make available via SOAP (GetSearchResults, GetItem, GetCategoryListings, etc). In this dialogue series, I argue the case for eBay to adopt a truly REST approach to their integration API. Part 4: Inter-Enterprise REST Integration ...

May 11, 2006 21:36 There is something about the Internet that nurtures open data, and something about computers that nurtures closed. It is often necessary, but often painful, to make the jump from local, closed data to global, open data. ...

The How has dominated the field - perhaps 80% of programming is done in the traditional Imperative style, where we tell the computer How to do a task in explicit steps. I'd like to show in this blog how Declarative Architectures and technologies are not just an interesting sideshow to the main Imperative attraction, but a complete and powerful programming alternative in their own right - indeed, one which has already dominated certain fields. Imagine being able to simply express What we want the computer to do - to give it constraints and rules - then let it work out for itself How to achieve our goals. I believe that saying What, not How, will become the dominant paradigm in programming. ...
