Don Box
Brief Description: Coauthor of SOAP
Further Details:
A popular blogger, Don Box was one of the original authors of the SOAP spec and is famous, among other things, for coining the term "COM is Love," as well as for calling HTTP the "cockroach of the Internet" and saying it is the root of problems for Web services.
As Microsoft's "Architect, XML Messaging" - a position he took up in January 2002 - Box has helped MS develop its XML Web services architecture.
He co-authored the original SOAP specification with Bob Atkinson, Gopal Kakivaya, and David Winer. Earlier in his career, he co-founded DevelopMentor Inc., a component software think tank aimed at educating developers on the use of the COM, Java and XML.
Microsoft claims that during his free time, Box "enjoys jamming with fellow MSDN Magazine contributors in Band on the Runtime, which performs songs on various programming topics."
