Open Source SOA - Ebook Detail

You can build a world-class SOA infrastructure entirely using popular, and mature, open-source applications. Unfortunately, the technical documentation for most open-source projects focuses on a specific product, the big SOA picture. You're left to your own devices to figure out how to cobble together a full solution from the various bits. In other words, unless you already know how Mule and Tuscany work with jBPM, you're stuck.

Open Source SOA shows readers how to build an entire SOA application using open-source technologies. It shows readers how to apply key ideas like Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) design and Business Process Management (BPM) and learn the tools and techniques to implement them effectively.

To pull everything together, the author describes real-life case studies from his own work to tie together all the principles and practices. These hard-to-find case studies are pure gold for the reader, as most developers keep these trade secrets to themselves.

Excellent Book!
This is an excellent book. I have several books in this series and they're all top notch. This one is no exception. I was looking for a good (though not too deep) introduction to Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and chose this one. I was not disappointed.

The service from the independent supplier through Amazon.com was superb. Lived up to their near 5-star rating. The condition of the book was also right on target.

Excellent book with great coverage of SOA
This is a fantastic introduction for intermediate to advanced programmers to get their coding hands on the various constructs of SOA. His examples explore an integrated set of open source tools that build the full SOA stack. He also makes an excellent overview of the capabilities and contrast the various offerings. A wonderful, detailed tour of a complex, critical topic. Also, at least so far, all the code examples worked! Thanks for a great book!
