The latest versions of each of the two magazine columns I write are now available.
My latest "Toward Integration" column, entitled "WS-NonexistentStandards," discusses the WS standardization situation. In WS-* we have lots and lots of WS specifications, but we unfortunately have very few actual WS standards. You can read either the online version or the PDF version. (Note that the column name as printed contains a space character due to an editorial mix-up -- please just ignore the space.)
My other column, "Object Interconnections," is one that I've been co-authoring with Doug Schmidt for 10 years come January 2005. (That has to be some kind of record!) In this issue we continue our multi-part coverage of the CORBA Component Model. As is traditional in this column, we provide lots of details and code examples. If you missed the earlier parts, you can find them on my home page.
