Laura Thomson's Blog: Simple Things are
Beautiful (REST and PHP)

Laura Thomson's Blog: Simple Things are
Beautiful (REST and PHP) 06/17/2005 03:32 PM
On Laura Thomson's blog, there's this post that talks a bit about XML and web services.

In a nutshell: most of the web services stack is bloatware that doesn't get used for most applications. 90% of the time you can get away with knowing no SOAP, WSDL, or any of that stuff. You can just use REST - Representational State Transfer. This is basically an HTTP GET request with parameters, and in return you get an XML document, in other words XML over HTTP. It works very nicely and is simple.

She gives a basic example of how, using nothing more than SimpleXML in PHP5, you can create a client/server with REST to communicated back and forth.

I'm not saying there isn't a need for SOAP and WS-*, just that often simple tools will do the job. It's just another version of the 80% rule. This seems to be a theme in my personal consumption of technology.

Good things, bad things

Good things, bad things 03/06/2004 02:03 AM
Good thing: to have surge protection on your computer array.
Bad thing: kick accidentally the surge protection thingy so that the wall socket becomes loose, and have a big, catastrophic power failure.

Good thing: to be able to read your blogs while eating breakfast
Bad thing: to drop a bun in your cereal, and have milk splashed all across your laptop

Good thing: iTunes for Windows
Bad thing: Windows

Good thing: actually having sunlight in the mornings.
Bad thing: the mornings.

Good thing: upcoming go -tournament (http://takapotku.suomigo.net - feel free to come by and say hi!) next weekend.
Bad thing: not sleeping enough before the weekend.
