Like “API” Is “Storage Tier” Redefining Itself?

There is an interesting bit in high-tech that isn’t much mentioned but happens pretty regularly – when a good idea is adapted and moved to new uses, raising it a bit in the stack or revising it to keep up with the times. The quintessential example of this phenomenon is the progression from “subroutines” to “libraries” to “frameworks” to “APIs” to “Web Services”. The progression is logical and useful, but those assembler and C programmers that were first stuffing things into reusable subroutines could not have foreseen the entire spectrum of what their “useful” idea was going to become over time. I had the luck of developing in all of those stages. I wrote assembly routines right before they were no longer necessary for everyday development, and wrote web services/SOA routines for the first couple of years they were about.

Google Pulls Out of JavaOne in Snit

Google has pulled out of JavaOne because Oracle is suing Google claiming that Android infringes on its Sun-inherited Java IP. Google blogged that the lawsuit made it “impossible for us to freely share our thoughts about the future of Java and open source generally” though that open source gambit may not play. It probably can’t get its bronze sponsorship money back, only cancel its sessions. Meanwhile, Java’s grumpy creator James Gosling, who couldn’t stomach the jump to Oracle, has run up some “Java. Just Free It. Hold Oracles to their Pledge.” T-shirts for the September 19-23 event – or anywhere they might be useful. See http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-on-javaone.html.
