Applied SOA
Applied SOA is a new book on Service Oriented Architecture written by 4 leading SOA practitioners: Michael Rosen, Boris Lublinsky, Kevin Smith and Marc Balcer. SOA has quickly become the industry standard for building next-generation software; this practical guide shows readers how to achieve the many benefits of SOA. It begins with a look at the architectural principles needed to create successful applications and then goes on to examine the process for designing services and SOA implementations. Each stage of the design process has an accompanying chapter that walks readers through the details and provides helpful tips, techniques, and examples. The author team of SOA practitioners also provides two unique, comprehensive, end-to-end case studies illustrating the architectural and design techniques presented in the book.
