Average Customer Review: based on 9 reviews.
Customer Review: I have not seen a SOA book that is as practical as this one. Most of the people I work with understand why SOA is important, and we all get the vision by now.

Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Customer Review: I've always hated the "for Dummies" series -- while I never doubted its application to me (at least in some areas), I didn't think I should display my stupidity nakedly with a long line of yellow book spines! That said, the real difficulty with the series naming convention is it doesn't allow one to level-set purchases. Are the (IT-f...

by Judith Hurwitz, Robin Bloor, Carol Baroudi, Marcia Kaufman
Average Customer Review: based on 16 reviews.
Customer Review: I like this book because it is easy to read and it explains basic SOA concepts. This book will help you understand the major concepts but it is not a book that can get you started building services, SOA infrastructure and middleware. And it is obviously not for dummies!
