I've been following the infrequent posts of Werner Vogels from Amazon in All Things Distributed and came across his pointer to a book by Scott Berkun the Myths of Innovation. I ordered the book, but what really grabbed me in the book description was the statement around "Why problems are more important than solutions " for innovation. What stuck me about the statement was around why the fabric was created. It was created in an effort to simplify developers lives. It was created because some very talented developers created a payment-gateway that was very scalable and reliable, and it was a difficult thing to do. Now if these developers are 10's and I consider myself a pretty 'average developer' and I'm a 5... ok, I'm a 4. What's a developer like me supposed to do to build scalable reliable software?
The Enterprise Application Fabric was created for the average developer like me. Using the fabric isn't a technology decision, for me it's a life-style decision!
Until next time...
