Myles, Your talk was a good excuse to poke fun at XML. I don't/didn't personally think you would be anything more than tech agnostic. I guess I can see some uses (HTML)...
Anyway, I didn't really see your talk as knocking XML. For me it's just that XML can be have kind of unpleasant connotations because of it's 'overuse' (IMHO). http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/ http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl ... Maybe XML is the best way of describing these things?? It is sure fricken complicated... and pretty unpleasant to parse or translate into Ruby objects. -Adam On 17/07/2009, at 12:54 PM, Myles Byrne wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Ben Schwarz<[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Myles, I think I witnessed a similar response to my talk >> which was pretty loosely on the subject of abstracting before >> understanding the domain, rather than bashing / a personal opinion >> of one technology or another. > > Yeah except my title was not "Why XML sucks" apparently (for reasons I > don't entirely understand) everyone read it as that anyway. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
