From Middleware to Web Services
by Jeff Tash
The Web changes everything. Software development’s middleware design center has already shifted from a focus on application partitioning and integration to dynamic Web services. Following the lead of Microsoft’s .Net initiative and Oracle’s .NOW portlets, companies including IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems have all announced how they envision using the Internet as the primary means of delivering software. This seminar explores the impact of this transformation on application development and deployment. Attendees will receive a free copy of Jeff Tash’s new Flashmap Infrastructure wall poster which represents the next generation follow-on to the very popular Client/Server Middleware RoadMaps published in Computerworld.
Topics to be covered include:
- Internet standards
- Markup and style languages
- 21st century IT enterprise architecture challenges (B2B, B2C, B2E, A2A, P2P)
- Decoupled asynchronous computing
- Web service requester, providers, and brokers
- An analysis of vendor strategies (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, HP, Sun, BEA)
