 Outstanding - worth the read. September 10, 2008

I have not seen a SOA book that is as practical as this one. Most of the people I work with understand why SOA is important, and we all get the vision by now. Many of the other popular SOA books ONLY focus on the vision and "what is SOA?" but not much else.
This book is different. It provides details. It focuses on architecture, design, and provides in-depth guidance for a wide variety of problem areas that we all encounter when we build SOA implementations. The book is a long one, but it is worth the read.
A must have if you are interested in SOA August 21, 2008

I really enjoyed reading this book which will probably appeal to both IT managers and Enterprise Architects. It has a nice balance between the strategy aspect of SOA and its technical side. The key concepts are well defined and clearly illustrated.
For those planning to introduce SOA in their organization - or those who just want to know more on the topic- this book is definitely a must have!
Practical and Comprehensive September 2, 2008

I just recently read through Applied SOA, and I found it to be one of the most practical and comprehensive SOA books out there. What I thought was especially helpful were all of the examples - specifically some of stories of where SOA implementations have gone wrong, how they were corrected, and how to avoid traps. I especially appreciated the in-depth case studies at the end of the book. I haven't seen many books that offer such a practical approach, and that is why this book stands out.
I thought that Part 1 of the book is good for those new to SOA, and I found that the rest of the book provides great guidance and detail for more seasoned architects. I liked the chapters on "Using Services to Build Enterprise Solutions" and "Designing and Using Integration in SOA Solutions", as they provided much detail. I have to disagree about an earlier review on this site - I found the chapters on SOA Security and SOA Governance to be incredibly well-done. I thought that the SOA security chapter was comprehensive in laying out different security blueprints, and I felt that the governance chapter focused on governance in a technology and vendor-neutral way, which is rare to find these days..
If I were to make one complaint, it would be that the book is very large. It is not a quick read, but it is a comprehensive guide to SOA and it is practical. I highly recommend it.
Must for SOA practitioners.... January 12, 2009

If there is one book to be recommended for SOA practitioners (or those who wish to begin SOA), this would be it. The author does a great job of introducing the concepts and provides detailed analysis of each concept. Serious about SOA? This is *the* reference.
Clear, concise starting with the business September 15, 2008

This book clearly explains the concepts and principles of SOA and makes the vital link to Enterprise Architecture. I would highly recommend this book to start with. If you then need more detail on for instance SOA Design Principles or SOA Design Patterns read Thomas Erl's series.
