SOA
Service-orientation is a design paradigm that specifies the creation of automation logic in the form of services. It is applied as a strategic goal in developing a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Like other design paradigms, service-orientation provides a means of achieving a separation of concerns.
Service-oriented architecture describes an architecture that uses loosely coupled services to support the requirements of business processes and users. Resources on a network[1] in a SOA environment are made available as independent services that can be accessed without knowledge of their underlying platform implementation.[2] These concepts can be applied to business, software and other types of producer/consumer systems.
I have been thinking a lot recently about the future of software development and where I see it going. I have worked for seven companies since leaving university (two design studios, two software studios, one community startup, one Internet bank and one investment bank), and my conclusion is that all of that SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodologies), or Development Lifecycle, that I learned in university does not work in the real world. Yes, if you can charge your customers tw
I had a plan. I wanted to create a way of accessing services in multiple locations from any location. Each location could have one or more services which may be duplications or different. That is a really abstract way of thing about it, but I eventually came up with a solution.
After using Reflector to view the Team Foundation Server source code, which gave ma many pointers for which I would like to thank the TFS Team At Microsoft, I came up with the following solution...
I have just been made aware of a new ('ish) service. It allows you to verify the identity of those users you interact with online. This is a very usefully service for any online site or community where users are under 18, but is there any value for those of us that are not?
The think that always annoys me with web services is that when you connect to it and generate the proxy it always generates proxies for all of the extra classes and interfaces as well, even when you have them available.
I am thinking of adding WF support to my Team Foundation Server Event Handler, but I am interested in a discussion on the topic of the how's and wherefores. I have seen a lot of people implementing Workflow for Team Server and this would provide them a host system...
Our TFS implementation is moving forward. I did a presentation on Friday to my peers and bosses on the need for TFS and the appropriate uses of it.
I have now created a new project within CodePlex that encompases all of the features of WhiteLabel, but with a whole host of extras. The WhiteLabel project is now complete and a release will be uploaded as soon as CodePlex starts working again.
At last .NET Framework 3.0 is live! I have been desperate to use it in work ever since I got a book on Indigo as I can see so many applications for it that would increase developer productivity and consistency.
