No. ;-) I just don't like to think Web Services are the hammer for every nail, yet your posts seem to give the impression that you'd do a web service for virtually everything.

No B2B stuff with my apps (at this time). Trying to coordinate these huge enterprise things is not something I would undertake. I think it's too complex and sets up a better chance of failure. I like to design things much more simple and in smaller chunks as opposing to a huge coordination like you're describing. > > This all gets screwy as we meander into this realm. > -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
