I gathered it was an End User speaking on developing an application with a SOA interface in U2, so I'm bummed. I thought this would have been interesting and very informative...
If the SOA session at 4:15 on Wednesday is cancelled, I wish they would move TUU-1458A (Securing U2 for IOD SOA) into that slot! I know of a couple of us who would like to attend that session, but have an imperative to see the SystemBuilder Technical Overview to see the "Version Next" that makes SB+ a part of VisualStudio... And actually, the SystemBuilder session should be interesting! I'd recommend anyone who has active development at least look at SB+ again -- in my mind, the costs involved with the RunTime aspect are likely mitigated by the standards and speed to completion, ESPECIALLY if you're doing mainly 'in-house' or 'small base' coding and development. SystemBuilder shields you from the 'interface changes' that usually plague small development efforts -- the reason so many products are still character based is the cost to get to GUI. SB+ sets out so that each shift in the paradigm has been evolutionary instead of 'start from scratch' -- we're hoping the evolvoltioin to Vista Aero presentation works as smoothly. Anyway, the SB+/SOA classes at the same time was another of those conflicts that surprised me -- I could see putting UniData and UniVerse classes at the same time, as those usually are two different groups - people are aligned with one or the other - but SB+ and SOA Archictecture I didn't see as mutually exclusive. Especially when IBM should be doing whatever they can to get more people reviewing and into SystemBuilder with the upcoming changes to make it an 'add-on' to VisualStudio! U2 has always been missing a 'front end' - SB+ **IS** that front end. And if you can use VisualStudio to boot (aside from Microsoft now getting their development tax as well!) then we will have a GUI anyone can develop with. See you at IOD...
