 Leading SOA Study & Approach for Service Development August 4, 2008
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
This is an excellent service life-cycle, strategy, design and architecture book that should:
-Adopted as a model for service design and development in companies
-Studied in business schools
-Studied in technology institutions
-Expanded beyond its initial scope to include missing elements, such as data architecture
-Provide a meta model strategy to service oriented virtualization
-Become the leading training material for SOA and service development
I am still reading the book. I am in chapter 13 and it is becoming very apparent to me that it contains serious material that can help us getting out of the current mess that we are stuck in
Awesome, Contemporary, Creative, Mad!!! July 3, 2008
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I do not know the authors, I have never met them or spoken to them, but I must say this.
This book is:
"Awesome" because there is nothing like this that explains services!
"Contemporary" because of its innovative approach to design and architecture integration
"Creative" because it tells you how to design and architect SOA and services in different ways, yet it makes a lot of sense!
"Mad" because when you read it you realize how surprising it is!
I strongly recommend this book to the business development and technical development people. The author came up with an overarching approach to design that can be easily embraced and agreed upon. This is an unbelievable modeling material that should be a must for every student, employers and employees.
Also, if you are a software modeler a developer a manager an architect a business analyst a business planner a program manager a database modeler a student - or plan to be one, you must have this book. I have it already!

Excellent Diagrams & Modeling Patterns June 8, 2008
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
If you buy this book it will change the way you think about software design and architecture. I am sure that it will give you a different perspective about architecting an application and it will enhance your knowledge about analyzing a service and involving legacy applications in the design phase. This book is strong on explaining what type of software components you will need to embed in your architecture. The most contributing part of this book is the recommended diagrams & modeling patterns that you as a developer, an architect, a business analyst, or project manager will need for articulating service design.
My company is currently adopting this book as our service development guide which includes the recommended diagrams and service modeling patterns and deliverables.
Profound Service Lifecycle Methodology June 6, 2008
29 out of 31 found this review helpful
My organization, a retail company, adopted this book as the leading methodology for SOA development. The main reason for choosing this material was the strong service lifecycle, a methodological way for discovering services by following the conceptualization approach, service design and architecture and integration guidance.
It looks like the author "grew up" in dynamic environments where he studied the major SOA problems. We have about 250 services that needed integration and most important our employees needed more education on "how to" issues. Among the burning problems that we identified and are properly explained in this book are for example ESB usage: why, when, and how much; SOA integration products such as gateways, data massaging and processing, data collection, and other programming issues with integration of services.
This is the first book that explains in simple words what is needed to simulate a service environment and how to integrate SOA and services for small applications or even larger SOA environments that contain a few applications.
 Where is the beef? June 5, 2008
6 out of 37 found this review helpful
When I purchased this book there were 8 glowing recommendations listed on Amazon. This was my second book related to SOA technology. The first one was a light, but good introduction. When I purchase this book I was expecting a practical book with some real-life examples. What I have purchased was desert sand, a very dry text which is so boring that I had several attempts to read this book to the end. If there is knowledge buried someplace in this book, then it is hidden too deep for me. The back of the book contains several praises (8 to be exact) from CEO's, CIOs, Executive Chairman, etc. I wonder how many of them really read this book and tried to use this newly acquired knowledge to design SOA system. Anyway, if you want to learn something about SOA architecture and design, this book might disappoint you. Try something that is closer to the ground and more practical. One day, after getting deeper into SOA architecture I will come back to this book to see whether I will change my opinion.
