Regrettably, I had to miss the last three hours of the Web of Services for Enterprise Computing workshop. Here, though, is as brief a summary of the first day and a half as possible:
It seemed to me that the room divided into two groups. One group wants the world to stop so they can model it—they want more specs and more control. The other group doesn’t.
Some more sweeping generalizations: WSDL 2.0 got the shit kicked out of it by both groups, but there was a lot of love for WADL. The WS-I is apparently a lost cause, and the WCF is the new web services profile. And where the heck is Microsoft anyway?
It was also a great pleasure to put faces to the names of many people I knew only via their online presence: Mark Baker, Mark Nottingham, Mark Hadley, Dave Orchard, Paul Downey, Nick Gall, Eric Newcomer.
