In an exclusive nine-part dialogue with an imaginary eBay Architect, we present an accessible discussion of the REST vs. SOA issue. 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. In this dialogue series, I argue the case for eBay to adopt a truly REST approach to their integration API. Part 9: Web Objects Ask, They Never Tell ...

Microformats are subversive: they not only challenge the approach of full-blown Semantic Web approaches, but even question fundamental Web 2.0 building blocks such as Web Feeds and Web APIs. I recently attended XTech 2006, where there were a few talks related to Microformats. After summarising these talks, I'll finish with my shocking revelations about the subversive nature of Microformats! ... March 22, 2006 17:00
Declarative Architectures focus on the What, not the How, of programming. 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. ...
