Episode 49: REST and SOAP

I talk both about the difficulties of having objective conversations comparing technologies on the interwebs, and about a particular recent success in doing so: a comparison of RPC-over-HTTP methods.

This particular conversation was on the Brumtech slack: I particularly recommend local software groups as a more diverse source of information than the user groups for any particular technology. (And if you’re in England’s West Midlands, check out Brumtech!)
