About this tutorial

This tutorial takes you through key aspects of using SOA technologies for your software projects. We will cover best practices (what designs to use in which situations.) It's written for software architects and business analysts who have a basic understanding of XML and Web services and who have advanced skills and experience. You should have a general familiarity with business analysis and software development methodologies.

This tutorial is also intended for developers who have a background in XML technologies and Web services. You should also be familiar with Internet standards and concepts such as Web browser, client-server, documenting, formatting, e-commerce, and Web applications. Experience designing and implementing .NET or J2EE-based computer applications, and working with relational databases is also recommended.
