I couldn’t sleep last night, so instead of doing something sensible like drinking a glass of warm milk, relaxing and punching myself in the face until I passed out, I got to coding.
I got Yahoo! Search integration working in my experimental, unreleased HUD and would have gotten Google Search integration working as well except that the SourceForge repository was down and I couldn’t find a copy of NuSoap anywhere else.
While I certainly don’t feel qualified to make a blanket condemnation of a technology that I haven’t really gotten into, I do know that Amazon’s and Yahoo’s! REST interfaces to search were so easy to get working that I had one of those creepy: “No…it couldn’t be that easy” feelings when it worked for the first time. It was the programming equivalent to having tripped, fallen down a mountainside, over a bridge and then nailed a perfect landing into a passing cargo truck full of down pillows. Comparatively, SOAP feels like I haven’t even gotten up the mountainside yet. We will see.
