Conclusion

Learn and use a modern scripting language. It can be Ruby, Python, Groovy or TheNextBigShot coming along, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is having a quick and easy tool for anything at hand so we won’t have to fire up our java IDE for a simple script.
Perl
Ruby
PHP
Python
Groovy

What does SaaS mean? It means, to put it very simply, software available for use online. There is no need to download it. Just signup on the internet and use it. It is similar to using yahoo/gmail; both are email programs running online and one just has to signup to them and start sending/receiving emails.

SaaS. Benefits
Reduced need to predict scale of demand and infrastructure investment up
front as available capacity
matches demand
Save money by not having to
purchase servers or other software
to support use
Multi-Tenant efficiency
Flexibility and scalability
Focus Budgets on
competitive advantage
rather than infrastructure
Monthly obligation rather
than up front capital cost

"What’s cool about SOA is that you can actually make the business significantly better… it will both heal some enterprises, and optimize others."

One of the main dilemmas with which software development teams face is how to choose a software development method that suits the team as well as the organization.
