Not a single line of a build file, but a slide set on what it is like to build production web services, and how to set up a software engineering process to do it better. Ant, Junit, cruise control, all are central to such a process. Written and presented by one S. Loughran. Sam Ruby was actually in the audience, which is something I only found out afterwards. Good thing I didnt say anything bad about the Gump.
http://www.iseran.com/Steve/papers/when_web_services_go_bad.html When Web Services Go Bad The title of this talk is meant to conjure up the vision of some late night cable TV show "we take you behind the scenes of colocation sites, finding the worst web services in existence", interviewing the people using them, managing them, integrating them, before finally catching up with the developer team on their doorsteps, asking them "why did you produce such a nightmare?" If such a show existed, would you be on it? I am going to tell you how to avoid that, without getting the government to give you a new identity under the Developer Relocation Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
