Thursday, December 10. 2009New white paper: Introducing Service APIs
Every company starts with a single website or web application, but as a company's online presence grows, many different applications and sites are deployed. With a traditional approach of treating each of these applications as separate solutions, a number of problems occur:
Service APIs can help you reuse a set of common functionality, which is implemented only once into the service layer. They can also help integrate third party applications in a consistent and robust way, and work around possible performance limitations. This new white paper, written by Ivo Jansch, explains the steps required to successfully migrate to a service API, from functional analysis all the way to documentation. It gives examples of common problems in the media and travel industries which can be solved with a service layer solution.

With more than 1 million visitors a week Kieskeurig.nl is the largest dutch product comparison platform. Kieskeurig allows users to do a product and or price comparison on almost any type of product on the (Dutch) market. Users are able to review and rank both products and shops. Its main goal is to help other users to make the right purchase. Kieskeurig recently launched their renewed website.
If you're familiar with the site you'll notice the difference immediately. Not only the design has changed but also the interface got many improvements. The new interface is more consistent and well-organized. Continue reading "PHP Showcase: Kieskeurig.nl" Friday, April 18. 2008Book review: Understanding Enterprise SOA
Last week I read a book covering SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). I thought I'd share some thoughts with you. "Understanding Enterprise SOA" (Manning Publications), is written by Eric Pulier en Hugh Taylor. The target audience for this book are managers and technical architects.
Working with web services, SOAP and mashups with Google maps or flickr, I was anxious to learn more about the architectural part of setting up an SOA in applications. Using webservices is one thing, but designing them in an application environment (which usually contains more than one service component) is another. Maybe because of my technical background I was hoping to get some more insight in how you design SOA applications from a functional analyst and technical architect point of view, but as it turns out, the book is more useful for managers than for technical guys.

There is lots of information available on how to build scalable web applications. I thought it would be nice to share a little bit of how we at Ibuildings build scalable web applications.
Often we're dealing with large applications that need to scale very well. Sometimes this is due to high load/traffic but, it can also be that the web application is used in many ways. For example an application can have a heavily used CRM like back-end system. The front-end website uses the same system to publish information from it. You can imagine that if you didn't set it up correctly and the load increases on the back-end, it affects the website users and vice versa. Continue reading "How we build scalable web applications"
