Feed Description: I am a software simplist. I make this beast of architecting, analysing, designing, developing, testing, managing, deploying software systems simple.
This blog is about how I do it.
I just received an email invitation from Fawcette to a webcast on the following topic:
Meeting the SOA data challenge: Using data services to Web service-enable existing data sources and generate XML schema-compliant data.
I didn't know you could put some much hype-laden bull into a single sentence.
There is so much worthless blathering going on masquerading as information, by so-called pundits from (until now) seemingly respectable companies, that it just makes me sick. It's a whole new level of marketing, and decision-makers are falling for it.
What's the real point of the webcast?
"Weâll also discuss how MetaMatrix Dimension, a new product from MetaMatrix, makes is easier for software developers to create XML schema-compliant Web services from their existing relational and legacy data sources â all without coding."
Repeat after me: There is no silver bullet. There is NO silver bullet. You already know this. So stop looking for one.
