Waterfall:

1. A cascading section of a river where the river-bed drops precipitously in a very short horizontal distance; sometimes forming rapids before and a cloud of mist immediately following. Often generates tourism and electricity.
2. A project management methodology abandoned in the recent past because enough scholarly work was generated for laity to mistake familiarity for understanding.
3. The software development lifecycle methodology that only descends, reminding participants of the adage, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

The Waterfall project management method can take much information from the daredevil, Charles Stephens, the man famous as the first man to die attempting to traverse Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Strapped to both the barrel (by the arms) and an anvil (by the feet), Charles learned an important lesson of momentum when, hitting the foam at the bottom, the barrel remained atop while the anvil proceeded apace to the bottom. Only Charlie’s arm was later recovered, bearing the motto of all waterfall managers,

Forget Me Not, Annie.

Web Service:

1. A miracle in a box.
2. Data abattoirs.
3. SOAP when you want REST, REST when you want SOAP.
4. A way of exchanging data through trust and agreement where no trust exists and no agreement can be made.
5. The hidden complexity of the system that can account, without internal blame, for the massive overruns of the project.

Web Site:

1. The target of all human desire. The platform where all things are possible and frogs become princes, and all enchantment brings wealth and youth.
2. The source of all human torment. The platform where all hopes are crushed and all ideas die; where frogs croak and enchantment turns out to be bewitchment.
