| | {section}{column} The e-book provides a concise and consistent overview of [IBM SOA]-\-the IBM approach to being successful with [service-oriented architecture]. While much of this material is available eslewhere-\-scattered around IBM's web site, conference presentations, sales materials, etc.-\-this e-book compiles it all together in one place in a consistent narrative that ties all of the pieces together. |
| | |
| | The main topics in the e-book are: |
| | * Getting started with SOA -- including goals, challenges, and how to select a good project |
| | * SOA Methodologies -- including the [SOA entry points] |
| | * Capabilities of an SOA application infrastructure -- including [IBM's SOA reference architecture|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/woolf?entry=a_quick_intro_to_websphere] |
| | * Products for an SOA application infrastructure -- mainly the [WebSphere Business Process Management] products |
| | * Development of an SOA application -- including the [SOA lifecycle|IBM SOA Quality Management] and [SOA governance] |
| | |
| | This will give you a broad overview of IBM's SOA approach in a compact format you can carry around on your disk drive. You can purchase the e-book from the publisher's web site. |
