Never used Ruby...but I wrote Perl for a long
time including some modules for my own use.
Take a look at .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0. The
SOA implementation through WCF is really cool
We are planning to move all of our code in that direction. It positions you to dump Microsoft someday (if you choose). The SOA
Class implementation exposes itself as
a proxy (even for local applications) and uses SOAP messages for everything...An application really does not know if is talking to a Windows or a Linux remote class handler....Good to talk to you...I am a fan
of Perl for quick and dirty stuff.. I will
take a look at Ruby
