A good guide from the developer standpoint about XML-RPC and SOAP, contrasting their differences, is available at masukomi.org. What’s interesting is the section on how the BigCos are approaching this market and on documentation, which addresses the same point.

It’s a good morning
And I have a lot to do. I’m trying not to let it get to me today, though. Doing some writing for my marketing professor, meeting with some folks on e-MIT things. Still working on getting my financial aid in order too. When I have a chance I’ll write more about that today. And E-52s rehearsal tonight. As Dave used to say, Dig we must!
