In my experience, once a SOAP API gets into production and is working, nobody wants to touch it. They can be very finicky beasts. Sometimes the most innocuous update can stop a client application in its tracks. Exposing a SOAP API to external customers just raises the risk level. One approach I frequently see is […]
The recording for episode #3 is now available on Crowdcast and YouTube. In this episode we cover issues like API description languages, security weaknesses in HTTP APIs and the illusive HTTP status code 410 Gone. Some of the questions we attempted to answer this week include: Links from the show include: Keep your eyes on our twitter accounts @darrel_miller and @gblock for the […]
As a software developer today it is pretty difficult to avoid working with HTTP in some capacity. There also seems to be a growing desire among developers to get a deeper understanding of the protocol. Recently Glenn Block and I decided it might be interesting to do a online Q&A about HTTP and try and answer developer […]
After an interesting summer of working on OSS projects, doing a keynote in Australia at DDDMelbourne, and getting ever closer to finishing that Pluralsight course, I now have a new role to sink my teeth into I have joined Microsoft as an API Evangelist.

Yesterday, I had a thought. It didn’t fit into a tweet so wrote a few paragraphs. I was very pleased with myself, finally getting round to writing again after a few months off. That was, until two different people who I respect highly, told me I was wrong. That part sucked. Who Can Do This For […]
Here’s a thought that wouldn’t fit into a tweet and will serve the purpose of breaking my blogging dry spell. With all the attention that microservices is currently receiving I regularly hear people talking about service discovery. When trying to co-ordinate multiple different services working together, it is critical to be able to dynamically configure […]
The last year has been been a very interesting one. In April 2014, I announced that I was joining Runscope as a developer advocate. This will be my 50th blog post since that one.
