Architecture, SOA and other fun things...
Just found an interesting article by Scott Bellware on architecture insights from TechEd 2005. All the big names seem to be present and speaking about different aspects on architecture and how SOA affects this landscape. Chrsitian Weyer, Ingo Rammer, Ted Neward, John deVadoss and a host of others are here. Its apparent that there is still a lot of discussion around the right way to do things in and around the fact that you have the potential to achieve similar outcomes (interface layered architectures, autonomous services, etc...) by the various technologies we have now. Its interesting to note the contention around some topics by some of the industry heavyweights themselves.
I encourage those interested in the Architecture/SOA scene to have a look.
