Excellent Diagrams & Modeling Patterns

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.

Leading SOA Study & Approach for Service Development

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!!!

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 SOA Life Cycle & Modeling Book

I'm an enterprise architect (a former developer), working for one of the largest retail companies in the US. This book is one of the most important books in the software modeling field because it explains and provides examples of a service development lifecycle. This text demonstrates the power of service reuse via hundreds of drawings and charts and it also offers a language for modeling enterprise applications and services.

My company embraced this book as our SOA modeling bible and most of our architects and developers found it valuable to their daily work. With the offered SOA language we are able to describe integration and deployment of services and middleware and we are also able to analyze our business motivation and the technical feasibility.

This book is necessary to my work, and to many of IT professionals, because it discusses the core of SOA development and it proposes service development ways in the following topics:

1) Service Analysis
2) Service Design
3) Service Architecture
4) Service Typing and Profiling
5) Service Conceptualization
6) Service Integration
7) SOA Integration
8) Business Integration
