The myth of Web Services and loose coupling
Michi Henning's newsletter is a very thought provoking article (not to mention controversial) on the myth of loose coupling in Web Services.
Michi expresses really well something that has always bothered me, but I could never put my finger on. From the article:
...whether the data is encoded as binary or as XML is irrelevant because the interesting problems raised by versioning are at the semantic level, not the syntactic one.
Well worth a read.
PDF? WTF? I read the article, and I was thinking.. How can this guy be so right on ws and so wrong on the web medium...
But just maybe he's not right on ws.
