Code first web services

While I like the idea of "contract first" design, and I know WSDL backwards and forwards, I still find WSDL/Schema slow and hard to create. I often start with Java and then fix up the resulting WSDL by hand.

Dennis Sosnoski has written a great article about his new tool that aims to make code first respectable. Cool idea!

British Computer Society a little behind the times

The BCS sent me an email enticing me to lead a session at next years Software Practice Advancement conference. Unfortunately for a conference that "advances software practice" its being held in the past:

> SPA2008 - the Conference That Advances Software Practice
> 16th - 19th March 2007

Just to add to the amusement, the email address they use to email us is spamem@lists.bcs.org.uk which I can only assume is short for "Spam Entire Membership".
