Recent discussion of RDBMS and REST reminded me of a comment I heard at the O'Reilly P2P/Web Services conference last November, though I can't remember the source. Something like: "REST is to traditional RPC kind of what SQL was to dBase and similar database languages." Both change the rules of the game with a different viewpoint and a different set of architectural demands. I think it's fair to say (of REST and older versions of SQL, anyway) that they're both simplification efforts. Will REST produce another Fabian Pascal? -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
