About this title

Synopsis:

This is a comprehensive tutorial that teaches fundamental and advanced SOA

design principles, supplemented with detailed case studies and technologies

used to implement SOAs in the real world.

***We'll have cover endorsements from Tom Glover, who leads IBM's Web

Services Standards initiatives; Dave Keogh, Program Manager for Visual Studio

Enterprise Tools at Microsoft, and Sameer Tyagi, Senior Staff Engineer, Sun

Microsystems. All major software manufacturers and vendors are promoting

support for SOA. As a result, every major development platform now officially

supports the creation of service-oriented solutions.

Parts I, II, and III cover basic and advanced SOA concepts and theory that

prepare you for Parts IV and V, which provide a series of step-by-step "how

to" instructions for building an SOA. Part V further contains coverage of WS-*

technologies and SOA platform support provided by J2EE and .NET.
