Bringing sexy back. The Hobo migrations are sexy:
create_table :updates do foreign_key :user foreign_key :group text :body string :type timestamps! end
To infinity and beyond. I learned something new on Reddit today:
DevGuy0: “OOP is the best at modeling the world and the things we do!”
DevGuy1: “Really?”
DevGuy0: “Yup, objects are exactly like everyday things and OO design captures how they interact.”
DevGuy1: “OK. So, how do you make coffee?”
DevGuy0: “Well, first I take out the coffee…”
WS-Interoperability… does not require SOAP:
The Yahoo! Mail Web Service offers two different ways to communicate: SOAP and JSON-RPC. The best choice depends on the programming language you intend to use to develop your application. Not all languages that support SOAP are compatible with the Yahoo! Mail Web Service, but all languages that support JSON-RPC are compatible with the Yahoo! Mail Web Service.
Sam Ruby has more SOAP shenanigans from the Yahoo Mail API.
One can always dream. But given enough APIs, and sticking with the simplest solution that works, there’s no reason why we can’t get there:
$ mount http://amazon.com $ grep ‘agile & software’ /mnt/w/amazon/books > agile-books $ cat agile-books | cut -3 | uniq -c
2007, year of the REST. Love it, hate it, have on clue what we’re talking about. Doesn’t matter. REST is officially the new Cool By Association technology.
