| The five biggest myths about Web services. (I like no.2!) Myth No. 1: Web services is brand new. Fact: Web services is the distillation of knowledge and experience gained from decades of working with distributed technologies. Myth No. 2: Web services has so many shortcomings, such as security, that it will prove to be a disruptive element in an organization's IT efforts. Fact: Actually, organizations are moving toward Web services because IT operations can be so disruptive so much of the time today. Myth No. 3: Interoperability will never happen. We've all got to have the same operating system to make Web services work best. Fact: Web services exists because interoperability is not only possible; it's happening on IT systems every hour of every day. Myth No. 4: Getting Web services means getting rid of all your current software and developing new programming languages to handle the Tower of Babel you're going to face. Fact: This is no more true than Myth No. 3. When we log on to the Internet for personal use, we don't think about whether our software will be compatible with whatever is on the other end of our web browsers. Myth No. 5: Web services is the endgame--the goal we're aiming toward. Fact: That makes as much sense as saying in the 1920s that a propeller-driven airplane that could get us across the Atlantic nonstop should be the goal of aviation. [from: JB Ecademy] |
