    Let's face it: Most people out there still think of Objects and OO-RPC over HTTP when they think about WebServices. Can't say I blame them: it makes perfect sense if you're just use to the usual OO and procedural paradigms. Unfortunately, I think we keep portraying this notions that help...

    I started writing this entry while listening to Scott Hanselman go on about his sister and parallel parking (The Neo of parallel parking?).... and here I was thinking I was to hear about WSDL! (Nahh, I'm joking... it's a story funny as hell!) Minutes later: There are a few terms...

    Forgot to say I got the chance to meet F2F with Clemens Vasters and hear him talk a little bit about all the cool things he's talking about, and then later on meet Dare Obasanjo and talk to him about the XML stack in .NET :) I also managed to...

it tonight (or maybe tomorrow, who knows!). Anyway, for those of you away with an

    Walking up at 3:30 am to get to MIA to catch a ride to dallas. Urgh! Missed the initial keynote, but managed to grab Don's early talk, which was quite fun, as Don's talks always are. One interesting thing mentioned in the talk is WSE 2.0 getting a new programming...

    Slashdot had a post today about an interview with San Mehat about .NET and WebServices, which I gave a quick read. My take? San doesn't quite get it. Object Serialization? Collections? Someone should point him out towards Doc/Literal vs. RPC/Encoded, XSD, and writing WSDL first. OTOH, maybe I'm just becoming...

    On a comment to my earlier entry, Sean mentions Biztalk's Orchestration Designer. I haven't seen what's on the Biztalk 2004's OD, but at least the one on 2002 is far different than what I showed in my screenshot of Collaxa's BPEL Server. What I showed on my earlier screenshot was...

    I decided to download Collaxa's BPEL Server beta 9 trial today and see what it was about. As many others, I'm certainly interested enough in BEPL4WS (and anxious to see what ends up in the next release of Biztalk Server. <img alt="Collaxa.JPG" src="/weblog/images/Collaxa-thumb.JPG" width="131" height="148" border="0" /> </p> I've only...
