Stefan Tilkov Soa Rest And The Web

The document discusses the debate between SOAP/WS-* and REST approaches to building web services and service-oriented architectures. It provides several quotes from experts that are both critical of WS-* for being too complex and opaque, as well as supportive of REST for its simplicity. However, one quote concludes that the "war" between the approaches is over, and that both have value and will continue to be used going forward. The document then lists talks at a conference that discuss both REST and WS-* topics.
