As you know most SOAs are able to tie things together, but the services are not necessarily intelligent. The data and the logic remain in the familiar environment, like in stored procedures in your database or even in Cobol. Today, some web applications frameworks, such as Flex and GWT, offer the ability to interact with your backend services. But which of the two would you choose (if it was a choice between those two only)? Here’s our take.
Web2.0 + SOA = QAFE
Web 2.0
Being truly technology-independent by nature QAFE renders to any Web2.0-standard out there, like Google Web Toolkit (javascript+HTML based solution), Adobe Flex (plugin technology), and (soon) HTML5. The definition of Web2.0 goes beyond modern web applications and technologies though. It also refers to web-based communities and social networking sites. Since QAFE is all about Web2.0 we decided to tweak the homepage of this site to make it just a little bit more Web2.0, by featuring our latest tweets. Have a look here. And if you have an account on Twitter, look us up.
