I’m just finishing my stay here in Amsterdam where ApacheCon EU was hosted. It was a good conference, and like most ApacheCons, thats because of the people here.

I gave two talks this week. The first was Secure, scalable and reliable RESTful services. Its always fun to talk about REST at ApacheCon, because the members/committers are the definitely experts in the area and everyone has an opinion to voice . It was a good time though, and hopefully it was informative for some of the non HTTPD committers in the room!

The second was Navigating WS-(death?)*. It wasn’t so much WS-* bashing as trying to help people understand why these specifications sprang into existinence (it all flows from the concept of a transport neutral, message oriented system), how they work, who interoperates with the various standards and if they should consider using them. I focused mainly on WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Policy, and WS-SX*.

I’m off to home tonight, and then off to JavaOne on Sunday. See you all there!
