Book

Service-oriented Architecture for Enterprise Applications


Shankar Kambhampaty
John Wiley & Sons, 2008 - Business - 245 pages

Service-Oriented Architecture is a book that emphasizes on architecture, design and development of enterprise applications based on SOA. The book provides detailed information on many dimensions of SOA-reuse, agility and integration-that can be put to immediate use for creating transformational impact. It also offers a comprehensive and structured set of techniques for custom-built service-oriented enterprise applications that can be readily applied by system integration companies and end-user organizations to address customer needs. The book equips you with both concepts and technology detail in addressing the IT challenges faced by organizations on their business transformation journey with SOA. This is the most sought after book by students who need to have an understanding of the concepts of SOA; architects, designers and developers who build SOA based enterprise applications and CXOs and Project managers who make decisions on undertaking SOA projects.

Special Features: · First book that focuses on architecture, design and development of Enterprise applications based on Service Oriented Architecture· Caters to the needs of students who need to understand the concepts of SOA, architects, designers and developers who build SOA based enterprise applications and CXOs and Project managers who make decisions on undertaking SOA projects· Includes detailed description (and code) to enable architects, designers and developers to build SOA applications on Java and .NET platforms· SOA is one of key areas on which IT services; product and end-user companies will be building substantial capability atleast until 2011. This book enables project teams in these companies to use it as a text book for their training programs on SOA
