I talk a lot about REST. You can probably guess what my day-to-day is like. Get used to it.

There is a Mark vs. Mark (gentle) debate about REST, SOA, and WS-*. (Hint: look at the comments…insightful).

As for REST vs. SOA versus REST vs WS-*, I chose the former (despite noticing you using the latter) because you can’t really compare an architectural style to a set of specifications.
