Sommario/riassunto

"SOA Made Simple" is a concise and indispensable handbook for finally understanding exactly what Service Oriented Architecture is. Split into



three clear sections, in this book you'll learn from both theory as well as step-by-step implementation examples to aid in your understanding of this often poorly- articulated industry term. If you are an architect who wants to be completely clear in your understanding of what SOA is, then this book is essential. In fact, anyone (designer, developer, administrator or team lead) who is implementing or about to implement an architecture in an IT environmen
