Listen to the podcast (16:00) (Click to listen or right-click "Save as" to download) Read the transcript Here, Woolf talks about his journey into blogging, touching on how he focuses his efforts there, then moves into a discussion of one of his favorite topics of late: event-driven architecture (EDA). He explains what EDA is, talks about the utilization of EDA and service-oriented architecture (SOA), and introduces the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that enables the use of an EDA and SOA together. Woolf is a member of IBM Software Services for WebSphere, consultants who help customers achieve success with WebSphere products. He is a co-author of Enterprise Integration Patterns and The Design Patterns Smalltalk Companion. This blog discusses how to use J2EE and related technologies to develop business applications, including how to make best use of IBM J2EE products like WebSphere Application Server and Rational Application Developer, and IBM SOA products like WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer. While it occasionally delves into tangential topics and future trends, the primary focus is on how to make use of the products and technologies that we have today.
