The SOA world begins considering Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) in earnest
The SOA world begins considering Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) in earnest
WOA clearly offers a number of advantages to those doing traditional SOA today. This includes considerably improved service consumption models that are less expensive and time consuming to use as well as unleashing the tremendous power of link architecture to drive information discovery, leverage, and analysis. The profound business implications of open APIs and cloud computing are growing clearer by the week. WOA also provides an excellent on-ramp to access the many powerful new online product distribution models currently available today. Distribution of SOA is a woefully neglected topic and WOA can bring an extensive set of techniques, from syndication to extraordinarily low-impedance Web services.

Unboxing Web-Oriented Architecture: The 6 Aspects Of An Emergent Architectural Style
Unboxing Web-Oriented Architecture: The 6 Aspects Of An Emergent Architectural Style
This is where a deeper discussion on Internet applications and specifically, Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) comes into the picture. WOA creates a more sophisticated and up-to-date vision for modern Web applications that aligns gracefully with the grain of the Internet. It also is generally (but of course, as with any approach, not always) true that WOA applications are easier to build, connect to other systems, and maintain for the Internet (and yes, Internet-type networks, like your enterprise intranet.)

Getting to know the Atom Publishing Protocol, Part 1: Create and edit Web resources with the Atom Publishing Protocol
The discussion that follows will present an introductory walk-through of the basic operation of the protocol. This discussion will assume that you have an good understanding of content syndication using the Atom 1.0 Syndication Format and a rudimentary understanding of HTTP. As you read through this overview, I recommend that you keep a copy of the Atom 1.0 (RFC 4287) and HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2616) specifications handy as a cross reference for the various elements and methods discussed. If you are not familiar with the Atom format, I recommend you look at an article I wrote for developerWorks last year, "An overview of the Atom Syndication Format" (See Resources).

CRISPY - Communication per Remote Invocation for different kinds of Services via ProxYs.
CRISPY - Communication per Remote Invocation for different kinds of Services via ProxYs.
The intention for this project is a very simple API to call different kinds of services (provider/technology). Crispy's aims is to provide a single point of entry for remote invocation for a wide number of transports: eg. RMI, EJB, JAX-RPC or XML-RPC. It works by using properties to configure a service manager, which is then used to invoke the remote API. Crispy is a simple Java codebase with an API that sits between your client code and the services your code must access. It provides a layer of abstraction to decouple client code from access to a service, as well as its location and underlying implementation. The special on this idea is, that these calls are simple Java object calls (remote or local calls are transparent).

Asanka Abeysinghe: Component Architecture of WSO2 ESB
While working on WSO2 ESB I thought of take the architects knife and cut the WSO2 ESB in a design time to see the components. It was interesting that there are lot of components bundled inside the ESB that the few of them only visible for the outside.

Making and Using Features in Drupal | Development Seed
Making and Using Features in Drupal | Development Seed
Features is part of the answer to one of Drupal’s biggest headaches – what to do with all that loose site building and customization that happens on every project. Features is part of the answer to making stronger, better install profiles and targeted distributions of Drupal. And features is part of the answer to making Drupal more task oriented and less daunting to our users.

Google Testing Blog: My Selenium Tests Aren't Stable!
Google Testing Blog: My Selenium Tests Aren't Stable!
The underlying message: When your tests are flaky, do some root cause analysis to understand why they're flaky. It's very seldom because you're uncovered a bug in the test framework. In order for this sort of analysis and test-stability improvement work to be done effectively, you may well need support and help from your team. If you're working on your own, or in a small team, this may not be too hard. On a large project, it may be harder. I've had some success when a person or two is set aside from delivering functionality to work on making the tests more stable. The short-term pain of not having that extra pair of hands focusing on writing production code is more than made up for by the long-term benefit of a stable and effective suite of end-to-end tests that only fail when there's a real issue to be addressed.

OCTO talks ! » Versioning des services: principes et éléments d’architecture…
Dans une implémentation SOA, un service n’a de sens que s’il est invoqué par plusieurs applications ou blocs applicatifs. Par conséquent, tout changement survenant sur un service impacte l’ensemble des consommateurs de ce service. Non seulement ces changements peuvent coûter chers, en plus, l’autonomie du service est un fondement de la mise en œuvre d’une architecture orientée services. L’autonomie se traduit par le fait que le service peut être modifié, déployé et maintenu indépendamment des consommateurs qui l’invoquent.

CSS orienté objet - Blog - Veille - Clever Age

Au fil des projets, on aime à pouvoir réutiliser du travail déjà réalisé auparavant. On gagne du temps, on ne réinvente pas la roue et surtout, on sait que ça fonctionne.

Assez curieusement, cette pratique reste quelque peu à l’écart du monde de la présentation Web. Combien de fois n’a-t’on pas recréé son screen.css depuis la page blanche ?

Une approche objet des CSS pourrait pourtant nous faire gagner un temps précieux !

InfoQ: Introduction to Data Services
Data services provide several additional benefits - data source abstraction, aggregation of data providers, reuse (generic, interoperable, flexible consumption patterns), alignment with logical data models , support for multiple service versions, provide value added features, and single point of interaction. Consequently, they serve as the foundation on which an enterprise can meet evolving business requirements on a continual basis.

Lors de la conférence Agile 2007 qui s'est tenue à Washington, D.C., un rapport d'étude a présenté les résultats que l'on pouvait obtenir en introduisant Scrum dans un environnement CMMI Niveau 5 pour remplacer les projets menés selon le modèle de la cascade sur des gros contrats dans les domaines de la défense et de la santé.

dropr™ - the message queue project for PHP

dropr is a distributed message queue framework written in PHP. The main goals are:

* reliable and durable (failsafe)-messaging over networks
* decentralized architecture without a single (point of failure) server instance
* easy to setup and use
* modularity for queue storage and message transports (currently filesystem storage and curl-upload are implemented)
