Phil Wainewright summarizes his thoughts on two recently published articles on Web services. On "Web services: Is it CORBA redux?" by Sonic Software's Gordon Van Huizen he writes "The article is a useful primer on why RPC should be avoided -- something I've always felt was the case, without being able to succinctly explain why (until now)." The second is an interview with XML pioneer Dave Hollander entitled "Thinking about the future of data." He writes "It's a helpful introduction to concepts like XML Schema and Namespaces, and why they're important."
Phil also points to a recently published IBM developerWorks article on the topic of BPEL4WS for the curious.
