Book Reviews of Service Oriented Architecture For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Book Review: A Good Book but Not for Dummies!
Summary: 5 Stars

I like this book because it is easy to read and it explains basic SOA concepts. This book will help you understand the major concepts but it is not a book that can get you started building services, SOA infrastructure and middleware.

And it is obviously not for dummies!

Summary of Service Oriented Architecture For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

  • SOA is the most important initiative facing IT today and is difficult to grasp; this book demystifies the complex topic of SOA and makes it accessible to all those people who hear the term but aren't really sure what it means
  • This team of well-respected authors explains that SOA is a collection of applications that enables resources to be available to other participants in a network using any service-based technology
  • Examines how SOA enables faster and cheaper application development and how it offers reusable code that can be used across various applications
  • Covers what SOA is, why it matters, how it can impact businesses, and how to take steps to implement SOA in a corporate environment
