What is the added value of attending this course for you?

I’ve got some valuable knowledge about SOA principles and technologies and gained a bit of experience in creating web-services.

What is the immediate benefit for you in your current professional situation?

None. I’m not using SOA today and I don’t plan to use it in near future for my current projects do not involve web access in any form.

How do you see SOA being helpful in your professional environment? Please elaborate what would you suggest if you would become the chief system architect of your company for a day.

I am the system architect (just because nobody else is involved in software analysis and design) of my company. But the specific features of my projects require high processing speed on small amounts of data and high security level. Therefore SOA would give no benefit here.

How do you see SOA in 5 years from now? Please take both the “local” (LT) perspective and global one.

It’s quite hard to predict anything in information technologies, but in my opinion, SOA will continue spreading, both in Lithuania and world-wide.

What are the pros and cons of “totally online” computing?

The main advantage is the ability to create a distributed system easily. The main disadvantages are data transfer speed and security.

How would you use Web 2.0 in a commercial project? Web 2.0 is, in short: social computing + data mash-ups + rich interfaces.

It depends on project requirements and specific features only.

How would have you organized this course if given a chance? Please think both from the contents and the form perspective.

A bit more technical details and no lectures on Saturdays.

Sincerely,

Sergej Christoforov.
