Dave Johnson on open web technologies, social software and Java

Reminder: Triangle JUG meeting tonight

It should be a good one too. Chris Garrett of TogetherSoft Borland will be discussing how WebLogic Workshop (formerly known by the codename Cajun) and Together Control Center may be used together to consume 100% of your CPU cycles create web services. I'm just joking, of course. I love playing with those cool GUI dev-tools. Too bad I can never afford to use them past the end of the evaluation period. Thank goodness for my whiteboard, Ant, and Axis.

The speaker was not really prepared to sell us on web services or Together Control Center. So, the talk was pretty uninspiring. I posted the following message to the TriJUG list after the talk: <p/> Andy Oliver said he was not impressed by the web services hype because he had heard the pitch before from RPC, CORBA, RMI, etc. He asked Chris Garrett what is different about web services? One big difference is Microsoft. Microsoft supports the standards and so far appears to be playing nicely with the other kids on the playground. That is why you can deploy a web service with BEA's Weblogic Workshop (or Apache AXIS) and then call it with ease from a VB.Net app.
