Elliotte Rusty Harold: North and South

WS-* is North Korea and REST is South Korea. While REST will go on to become an economic powerhouse with steadily increasing standards of living for all its citizens, WS-* is doomed to sixty+ years of starvation, poverty, tyranny, and defections until it eventually collapses from its own fundamental inadequacies and is absorbed into the more sensible policies of its neighbor to the South.

Ducan Cragg “In an exclusive nine-part dialogue with an imaginary eBay Architect, we present an accessible discussion of the REST vs. SOA issue.”

The first two parts are up.

Sam Ruby and Leonard Richardson are writing a book on Web Services using REST.

Cool.

It looks like most of the code is going to be in Ruby as well, also cool. I wonder if this is going to make it even harder to search Google for Ruby without getting hits for Sam Ruby ;-)
