Why thanks, Tommy! A couple of people who love to disagree with me are contending that some sort of "personal direction history foul" has occurred. WTF is personal direction history, anyway? I think it means I changed my mind on something, but it sounds much more ominous when you use big words.

Anyway, don't let 'em fool ya. I haven't changed my position one bit. SOA is simply another phrase for client/server computing, and the extraneous stuff that was being hyped (stuff like UDDI) is already gone, as I predicted way back in 2004. I challenged the hype, and basically said that if SOA means only SOAP and UDDI, it won't be around for long.

Well, as it turns out, it seems like IBM has the right idea: SOA is not SOAP, nor is it web services. SOA is two machines talking, whether it's using WS/SOAP or REST/JSON (or perhaps some new communications technique down the road). Heck, SOA can be two machines talking using <gasp!> MQ-Series! The beauty is that with EGL, you don't really care. You write business logic, tell it how you want to communicate, and the tool does all the plumbing.

I don't know about you, but my personal direction is FORWARD, baby...
