I don't normally quote Microsoft architects, nor do I often find InfoWorld that exciting lately, but there's an article there that's really got me thinking: http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/04/10/020410hnctohailstorm.xml Just a few choice bits: -------------------------- He also encouraged attendees to consider when building Web services whether to program to an object-centric or XML-centric model. One pitfall to look out for in the object-centric path is how to obtain extensibility when you are programming at a high level, he said.... The primary skill a workforce needs is a deep understanding of XML, particularly name spaces and versioning. "The big thing we had to deal with [at Microsoft] was learning and embracing XML," Lucovsky said. "XML is more difficult than people think." --------------------------- It echoes a lot of what we say here, I guess, but it makes some points that aren't very often heard in the latest wave of Web Services hype. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
