Abstraction and control in REST vs RPC

http://blogs.iona.com/newcomer/archives/000572.html

Eric Newcomer: One of the biggest debates in the software industry is about getting the level of abstraction right. By this I mean a level of interaction with computers higher than binary code or machine language - in other words, anything that presents humans with a more natural or intuitive abstraction of a CPU's instruction set and binary data storage format. Computers are after all fundamentally stupid electrical systems that have to be told exactly what to do. At the end of the day, everything is just 1s and 0s - the bit is either on or off. But it is really hard for us humans to work with computers at that level, so we keep trying to make it easier for people to tell computers what to do. Getting the abstraction right is key to developer productivity, but it's a constant struggle. Abstraction layers typically remove flexibility and control from one level in order to simplify things at the next.

Tip: Make your CGI scripts available via XML-RPC

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipxmlrpc.html?ca=dgr-lnxw03XMLRPC4CGI

For a large class of CGI scripts, it is both easy and useful to provide an alternate XML-RPC interface to the same calculation or lookup. If you do this, other developers can quickly utilize the information you provide within their own larger applications. This tip shows you how.

The Incutio XML-RPC Library for PHP

http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/

The Incutio XML-RPC library (IXR) is designed primarily for ease of use. It incorporates both client and server classes, and is designed to hide as much of the workings of XML-RPC from the user as possible. A key feature of the library is automatic type conversion from PHP types to XML-RPC types and vice versa. This should enable developers to write web services with very little knowledge of the underlying XML-RPC standard.

XML-RPC Homepage

http://www.xml-rpc.com/

XML-RPC is a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet. It's remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. Dave Winer, UserLand, runs this site.
