Excerpt: Both API and SOA success requires creating loosely coupled consumer-provider connections, enforcing a separation of concerns between consumer and provider, and exposing a set of re-usable, shared services, and gaining service consumer adoption. With traditional SOA, many development teams publish services, yet struggle to create a service architecture that is widely shared, re-used, and adopted across internal development teams. Over a period of six years (i. e. 2003-2009), I consulted and advised over 200 large enterprise IT organizations on how to create effective SOA strategy and SOA roadmaps. The experience provided a battle-tested SOA strategy for moving organizations forward.... read the full post.

API Community Debates Governance versus Innovation

on 03/12/2013
Excerpt: The need for "API Governance" was a hot topic at the recent API Strategy and Practice conference, which brought together API practitioners and experts from a broad spectrum of startups, vendors and enterprises. Lorinda Brandon, director of solutions strategy at Smartbear Software reported on the debate asking whether governance and innovation "had to be enemies. " Lorinda notes that among the diversity of attendees at the conference there is still the same old gap between the enterprise and the start-up that we have come to expect. "For as long as I've been in the industry, the difference has always been around governance and process vs rapid innovation.... read the full post.

Excerpt: A few days ago an interesting query was raised by one of our customers. They queried whether it was possible for us to write our PDF2HTML5 Java api in dot net languages or php (Hypertext Preprocessor). According to my colleague Suda, as many of you may be aware integrating the Java api into dot net frameworks consumes a considerable amount of time. In order to answer this query we have decided to provide a PDF to HTML5 Cloud based design solution in our products using web services in order to fulfil our clientâs demands. This encouraged us to move to jax-ws plugins in our online conversion tool.... read the full post.

Excerpt: Just the other day, SOA Software announced it was beefing up its “Atmosphere” product family to support both intra- and inter-enterprise applications. SOA Software is one of many vendors recognizing that application programming interfaces (APIs) are now a must-have for many enterprises seeking to build and extend their sharable services. And we’re not just talking about the likes of Google, Twitter and Amazon employing open APIs to build up their user bases and developer ecosystems — non-IT enterprises are opening up APIs as well. Is this the new face of service oriented architecture?... read the full post.

Excerpt: As the high-profile Oracle-Google Android trial has continued, it has cast light on the changing nature of the Application Programming Interface (API). Oracle Corp. , Redwood City, Calif. , contends that its Java APIs can be copyrighted. Palo Alto, Calif. -based Google demurs. The first view recalls the days when big companies only shared APIs as part of complex – and expensive – corporate alliances. The latter view reflects the API ethos of the Internet era, where Web APIs are open and freely shared. So, the API landscape is changing. This evolution of the API is front and center in an ongoing shift in the SOA world, one increasingly driven by emphasis on wider use of light-weight JSON and REST services.... read the full post.
