Quick and Easily Done Mashups + SOA and web 2.0

QEDWiki, a mashup maker by IBM, has got a nice intro and demo on video. If you liked it, better keep an eye on the Emerging Technologies You Need to Know !

Mahups and Mashup makers are an obvious way to show the value of service orientation. As the video states, Web 2.0 puts a face on SOA.

dW chats: Grady Booch on the latest Rational tools release

Another developerWorks chat that looks very interesting: Grady Booch answers your questions about this week's Rational tools release. On Thursday December 7th, at 4:30 pm his time or 10:30 pm my time.

I did not learn about this from Booch's blog itself, but from a comment by Ferran Rodenas to a post in Kelly Drahzal's blog. The interesting bit about this is that Ferran works for "la Caixa", a very important ibm client, and it is a very good thing for me and some team mates to be able to read his posts and keep track of his blogroll. Or explore his linkedin profile and our common connections. The openess that blogs and social software have brought rocks!

SuperIT Girl gets SOA

After the trailer, the 30 minutes movie: LAUNCH (Your Window of Opportunity is Limited) aka SOA, The Movie. I like the idea of storytelling to deliver a complex message, but maybe the story is a bit too long.
