Book Reviews
"Service Oriented Architecture For Dummies"
A Good Book but Not for Dummies!
"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!"
Eric Marcus
A good starting point
"If you are not an IT guy and for a long time you have been thinking that SOA is only related to IT, then this book is a good starting point to understand, and make others understand, that SOA has everything to do with business.
Using simple examples, this book will guide you through the different elements of SOA and will help you to understand it's potential."
