Overview
SOA Design Patterns is a definitive work that offers clarity on
the purpose and functioning of service oriented architecture. SOA
Design Patterns not only helps the IT practitioner lay the groundwork
for a well-functioning SOA effort across the enterprise, but also
connects the dots between SOA and the business requirements in a very
concrete way. Plus, this book is completely technology agnostic—
SOA Design Patterns rightly
focuses on infrastructure and architecture, and it doesn’t matter
whether you’re using components of one kind or another, or Java, or
.NET, or Web services, or REST-style interfaces.
