Focusing on only one effort causes suboptimal returns on the other, with a serious and negative impact on your SOA investments. Dan Rosanova details how this can happen and how to avoid it.

But while REST is often cited as a SOAP alternative, Microsoft's Steven Martin thinks this a distinction without a difference.
