| Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Concepts, Technology, and Design (The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl)
by Thomas Erl
Average Customer Review:  based on 60 reviews.
Customer Review: Thomas Erl in this book provides an excellent reference and an independent/agnostic view of SOA that is not cluttered with Vendor speak. What I thought was valuable is the definition of business benefits, case studies and the beginning of SOA Principals and terminology that provides an organization a mechanism to organize their effo...

Customer Review: This is a comprehensive modeling book that delves into modeling aspects of services.

| Service Oriented Architecture For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
by Judith Hurwitz, Robin Bloor, Carol Baroudi, Marcia Kaufman
Average Customer Review: based on 13 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!

| Enterprise SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture Best Practices (The Coad Series)
by Dirk Krafzig, Karl Banke, Dirk Slama
Average Customer Review:  based on 18 reviews.
Customer Review: Frankly, I thought SOA was just a bunch of marketing hype until I read this book. The authors begin by clearly explaining of the kinds of problems SOA is trying to solve, and how other architectures tried and failed (or partially succeeded) to solve these problems. In fact, you don't get a definition of SOA until chapter 4, which is...

by Eric A. Marks, Michael Bell
Average Customer Review: based on 33 reviews.
Customer Review: Much has been written about the promise of SOA and, at the same time, the difficulty in realizing that promise to date. Most of us who work in this field know by now how to address the technical concepts, architecture and services in an SOA. Where this book stands apart from so many others is that it provides both conceptual and pra...

| Expert Service-Oriented Architecture in C# 2005, Second Edition
by Jeffrey Hasan, Mauricio Duran
Average Customer Review: based on 1 review.
Customer Review: If I could rate the first half of the book separately from the second half, I'd give the first half 1 star, because it's filled with junk and hype and stupid marketecture assertions about magical things that services do that ordinary components don't. Most of these assertions are simply false, the kind of "selling-it" nonsense that us...

Average Customer Review:  based on 5 reviews.
Customer Review: Although I am not a friend of any of the authors, I find this book great. The first chapter is not only an excellent introduction to SOA; it also addressed the change of mindset you have to implement to succeed. The requirement discussion is chapter two is also excellent. It challenges the use-case driven development from RUP (and ot...
