No Big Deal

I am finishing a project at work that represents an initial plunge into the cloud computing world. With all the buzzwords and bleeding edge characteristics, the actual implementation was really not that painful. Having written some pretty basic web services I know there has been large effort behind the services we are consuming.

And so my appreciation of service oriented architecture had grown beyond an intellectual curiosity. One can take advantage of existing functions and services, stitch them together with your own business logic, and build enterprise class applications with less effort, and lower infrastructure overhead.

A brave new world (well not all that new).
