gSOAP article
Bo Xie (IBM)wrote an interesting article about how to use gSOAP a Web Services stack optimized for C/C++. I enjoyed reading the article even though when I disagree in some topics. I don’t think that C/C++ is always the best option when comes to build Web Services with a small memory footprint. Proper memory optimization is almost always a design + algorithms decision. And nowadays Standards like MTOM and XOP can help to alleviate those challenges. Also there are another C++ Web Services platforms that perform really well Visual C++ .NET and Systinet WASP Server for C++ are just 2 alternatives to gSOAP when comes to build C++ Web Services.

It’s undeniable that a lot of innovation is happening around Software as a Service (SaaS). I’ve seen a lot of creative ideas coming up form players on the SaaS space. This week in DreamForce SalesForce.com announced Apex which intends to be the programming language to create application on AppExchange. The syntax behind Apex is a combination of a Java-based procedural language and a SOQL-based query language. Conceptually similar to DLINQ but much more constrained feature-wise.

Yesterday was the first day of the BPI&SOA conference. John Evdemon from the Architecture & Strategy team delivered a great session about the principles of Service Orientation, workflow and Business Process Management. The Architecture & Strategy team is always working in a lot of emerging architecture solutions challenges.
