The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
09/30/2002 01:53 PMWeb services are somewhere around the crest of their hype cycle and
currently the darling of the prevalent media. This cresting is like
that of other technologies in that it precedes full development and
maturity. Web services, an undoubtedly important technology regardless
of media interest, have a good deal of development ahead of them.
Those who find success using Web services will be those who understand
the technology fundamentally: its motivations, the reasons why some
components are winning out over others, and the likely course of
maturity.
For this reason, I start with the history of Web services. This is no
mere nostalgic side-trip: the business and technical environment into
which Web services was conceived, and the various players that have
waxed and waned in prominence in their history to date are likely to
have a strong effect on the future of Web services. You can already
see this happening with developments such as the emerging role of
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS) as incubator of security, workflow and transaction standards
for Web services. OASIS was once seen as the very opposition to
mainstream Web services. -- Uche Ogbuji

Athens Games: Best of Greek Past,
Present (AP)
08/30/2004 06:20 AMAP - Little things meant a lot in Athens: a tear from Mia Hamm's eye,
or a smile across Jennie Finch's mouth, was as good as gold. A pair of
abandoned wrestling shoes, size 13, signaled goodbye for Rulon
Gardner. A track baton, about a foot long, turned to kryptonite as the
U.S. women's 400-meter relay team fumbled the last medal hopes of
Sydney superwoman Marion Jones. These snapshots make up the bigger
picture in Athens: 17 days of emotion and excitement in the birthplace
of the games, 108 years after the first modern Olympiad in the same
Mediterranean city.

The present and future value of Python
12/19/2004 03:00 PM
The universal database is just one example of the kind of
next-generation platform service that will be used primarily through
managed interfaces. As operating systems consolidate around managed
interfaces -- to data, to middleware, to graphics -- they're going to
tend to prefer the Java and .NET and Mono VMs over the Perl, Python,
or PHP VMs. But the agility of the dynamic languages, and the
collaborative energy of their open-source communities, will matter
more than ever. Injecting these qualities into the mainstream VMs is
something I've always thought was crucial.
Now as many of you probably heard, Jim Hugunin made two dramatic
announcements on Wednesday at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference.
Jim's the guy who created Jython, which is Python for the JVM. His
first announcement was that IronPython, which is Python for the .NET
Common Language Runtime and for Mono, has been released. The second
announcement was that Jim starts his new job at Microsoft on Monday,
where he'll work on IronPython and help make the CLR friendlier to
dynamic languages. I think this is a huge deal. Managed code isn't a
panacea, but it's the dominant way of making programming easier and
safer. Last month I wrote a blog item with the title: "It's not the J
in Java Virtual Machine that matters, it's the VM." For the same
reasons there aren't a dozen CPU architectures that matter, I don't
think there will be a dozen mainstream VMs. There will be the JVM,
there will be the CLR, and -- let's all pray -- there will be a viable
non-Windows alternative to the CLR in the form of Mono. And then,
maybe, there will be Parrot, one runtime to bind all the open source
dynamic languages.
I don't mean to suggest that integration with the mainstream VMs is a
survival issue. Python's doing just fine all by itself. BitTorrent,
for example, is touching millions of lives. Users of the SpamBayes
Outlook plugin have no idea they're running Python. When I was poking
around in the Gmail help system the other day, a Python stack trace
came spewing out. If Chandler succeeds, it'll be the first major
user-facing GUI application written in Python, or indeed in any open
source dynamic language, and that's something I've been wanting to see
for a very long time.
What I do want to suggest is that, if we can get really good
implementations of Python running on the mainstream VMs, Python will
be in a position to touch many more millions of lives -- and, what's
equally interesting to me -- to influence the evolution of the managed
frameworks running on top of those VMs. There hasn't been anybody
inside Microsoft who cares about this, but on Monday that'll change.
There hasn't been anybody inside Sun who cares about this either, and
I don't know when or how that might change. Still, it isn't ultimately
up to Sun or Microsoft to make this happen. What they can do, and
should do, is lay the foundation. It's up to somebody in the Python
community -- maybe somebody in this room -- to build on top of that.
So if you're looking for a project that can really make a difference,
you might want to consider Jython or IronPython. Any takers? [Complete text of
the speech]
This extract concluded the talk I gave this summer at the
Vancouver Python
Workshop. Tim Bray's item last week about the
d
ynamic-language summit at Sun reminded me that I never got around
to posting the text of my speech.

The future and past of journalism
The future and past of journalism
06/05/2005 11:34 PMScott Rosenberg has written a very nice essay on the future of
journalism in the age when anyone can publish. He has caught the
moment that we stand in well, with the old media monopolies dying but
not dead, and the new media struggling to be born, but not clear what
it will be born as. He captures well a phenomenon that experienced in
my teens and will never forget, the experience of having someone
report on something you know well, and discovering how flawed and
human supposedly authoritative institutions like major newspapers are.
In my case, I was living in Niger in West Africa, and I once met the
Washington Post journalist who was responsible for covering the entire
continent of Africa (which is by itself an amazing fact). He spent 5
days in the country and then left, not to return again for a year or
so, and on the basis of those 5 days wrote 5 or so articles on events
and trends in Niger, each of which contained things stated as facts
that I thought were patently false. It was a good learning experience
for a future political activist. I suspect that, in spite of the many
reasons why the existing institutions and practicioners of journalism
should be able to see the writing on the wall, we are entering another
period of Schumpeterian Creative Destruction. I also suspect that what
arises from the ashes that we will recognize as journalism will arise
from the mix of new sources like blogs, group blogs, indymedia, PLOS,
Kuroshin, etc. not from the transformation of existing
institutions....
