A brief history of Consensus, 2PC and Transaction Commit, in which Mark Mc Keown attempts to keep us all in sync with the history of consensus across processes in a distributed system.

Excellent read. Thanks Mark!

Interview and Book Excerpt from RESTful Web Services

Friday, June 1st, 2007

InfoQ has an Interview and Book Excerpt from the book RESTful Web Services, the new book published by O’Reilly. I’ve ordered my copy from Amazon already, and I’m looking forward to reading it.

The interview also links to a sample chapter from the book, titled The Resource Oriented Architecture.

A great quote from the interview, by Sam Ruby:

I also wanted a book that rose above the “we are 733T, WS are the Sux0rs” zealotry that, sadly, one too often hears.

Congrats to Leonard and Sam on their book!
