By Nolle, Tom  The wave of interest in service oriented architectures (SOA) has created, not surprisingly, a wave of speculation about the changes SOA might bring to enterprise networks.

Rich Zygler has a few choice words concerning the implementation of WS-* web services in PHP and how they compare to other methods (like SOAP and REST).   IÃ¢ÂÂd love to give ws02 a fair shake because they have an open source business model. They have a web services framework for PHP which seems interesting from an academic standpoint. But I think WS-* web services are WAY too complicated when compared to REST.   He points at a certain bit of documentation (to show the "simplicity" of it) and gives a personal example of his SOAP experience with the Amazon API as well as mentioning other opinions on the matter.

Travis Swicegood is teasing us with some output from a script in his latest blog post:   So my free time of late (what there is of it) has been spent on a project that's getting really close to v0.1 release. In other words, its first functional release. If you've ever run a test using the PEAR installer or know what a .phpt file looks like, you might be able to guess what I've been up.   Keep an eye on his blog for more information on his "secret project".

In a new post to his blog, Sebastian Bergmann mentions a new effort he's undertaken - the porting of the Hamcrest library of matcher objects to PHP.   I have begun to port Hamcrest, which provides a library of matcher objects (also known as constraints or predicates) allowing "match" rules to be defined declaratively, to be used in other frameworks. Typical scenarios include testing frameworks, mocking libraries and UI validation rules, to PHP.   The hamcrest-php project compliments other current hamcrest-related projects and his ultimate goal is to make it available to the PHPUnit testing community (as well as with the PHPMock effort).

Over on the Zend Developer Zone today, Akash Mehta has written up  a review of a book from Packt Publishing, "PHP Web 2.0 Mashups" (by Shu-Wai Chow):    As it's title suggests, PHP Web 2.0 Mashup Projects is a demonstration of the various techniques available for developing mashups in PHP. Through a highly practical format, Shu-Wai takes the reader through a series of projects utilising different web services and APIs, while carefully exposing the reader to a wide variety of technologies and data formats.   With careful selection and shaping of language, the book is an extremely effective introduction to the world of mashup development with PHP.    Akash talks about the contents of the book (the different projects it covers) and how the book provides a version useful resource to those just getting into the mashup world - a reference guide to some of the popular data transfer methods/formats out there.

DrJava is a lightweight programming environment for Java designed to foster test-driven software development. It includes an intelligent program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a source level debugger, and a unit testing tool.   There appeared to have been a problem with the files that were uploaded for the 20080106-0744 stable version that prevented DrJava from being run when downloaded from some servers.  These problems had been fixed within two days of the release. The version number has not been changed since the files were simply uploaded again.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

On his blog today, Chris Hartjes has a quick screencast he's created showing off an interactive testing console he's worked up for use with the CakePHP framework.   I had suggested in an email to the CakePHP mailing list that an interactive console for doing testing of Models would be good. While at php|tek I spent a lot of time with the CakePHP guys talking about this. Out of it came some more ideas (like the ability to test your routes) and they even implemented a console that spits out API information for you. Very cool stuff. So, I decided to do a little screencast demo of a very early alpha version of the interactive console.   The screencast shows Chris running a test on his own classes, including demonstrating the built-in help the app offers.
