This is my site for fun and work. I am Sander, a software architect.
Centrical is my playground. Blogs, news and resources are updated regularly.
My articles are published on Infoworld, AutomatiseringsGids and Emerce, too.

My resume, the Web Unified Process and the general conditions are offered in several formats.
Some more information about me is shown here, like a resume, professional history and more.

Stuff that happens to me sometimes inspires me to write. It may be nonsense, though.
WUP (Web Unified Process) is a lightweight and agile development method for web projects.
This where I keep technical posts that might come in handy.
Why Do We Always Look Ahead?
Why Do We Always Look Ahead?"Web Services confuse me. I've been trying to wrap my head around the concept for a little while now and, as hard as I've tried, I still don't get it. It's not the technology mind you. I've built a couple of SOAP services that are in production. I like the idea that you and I can speak to each other without getting into long and arduous discussions about endianess, implementation languages and the like.What I'm having a hard time groking is all the stuff being piled atop what was a very simple and useful concept. Doing so seems to creating the perception that you can build whole systems like this."
It seems to me that we're in the process of crafting yet another technology that doesn't do a whole lot to advance the state of the practice of system development. As far as I can tell we're going to end up with a bunch of systems hooked together with stiff interfaces, communicating with a seriously inefficient syntax, and doing very little to make sure the systems behind these interfaces are any more reliable or cheaper to run.
It's almost like we've agreed that we're going to use grounded plugs for everything (good) but we suffer from more or less routine blackouts (crashes), it costs $2000 per kilowatt (large IT staffs), and we have to take turn the generators on and off every night to clean out the kruft (nightly maintenance).
