Aaron Wormus - Interoperability is Overrated
Aaron Wormus, #phpc regular and all around nice guy, posted recently on his blog about code interoperability. The post, titled Interoperability is Overrated, is Aaron’s response to an editorial Marco Tabini wrote a while back in php|architect magazine. Here’s a taste of what he had to say.
Interoperability is overrated, the more you think of it the more complex it gets. As you start throwing in new factors into the equation (how will this interoperate with a java/c# application) you start to develop monsters like JSR 170 which solve a lot of problems on paper, but in reality are too unwieldy to be truly useful.
Aaron goes on to outline his 4 steps to interoperability, which he stats are the same steps for writing good code.
Click on in and give this one a read. It’s short enough so that you can slip it in between forwarding on that next email joke and catching up on Dilbert. It’s a good piece that will give you something to ponder the rest of the day.
