Lessons learned launching a web service
16 marzo 2005
Posted by Nelson Minar, Software Engineer
Seven weeks ago we launched the
AdWords API
, and since then had the chance to reflect on what we learned creating a new web service. I just gave a
talk
at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies conference about it, and here are the
slides
. Some of the (admittedly geeky) highlights: the value of document/literal style SOAP, a description of the real-world problems in building interoperable web services, and my opinion on when to use SOAP vs ReST. Despite the geek factor, perhaps it's useful for people building web services and developers using Google's
own
services
.
