A few months ago, I was approached by Diego Dagum, a dear friend and a great architect who also happens to be the Editor-In-Chief for the MSDN Architecture Journal. Diego asked if I would like to work with him on the SOA edition for the Architecture Journal as a Guest Editor-In-Chief.
Looking back, I’d say it was a great experience to be able to impact the contents and vision of such an important edition that reaches 10,000s of architects around the world. The result was an Edition that discusses best practices, methodologies, SOA related products and a few articles on Software + Services and the way SOA enables it. I invite you to make use of this edition, read the articles, go through the guest columns and see the videos to learn more about SOA, S+S and Microsoft.
I encourage you to read Hatay Tuna’s article on “An Enterprise Architecture Strategy for SOA” that Microsoft Consulting Services has developed. The reason is the feedbacks we got from architects that this specific article helped them realize the ROI from SOA in a clearer way that could be better explained to the management. There is an article by Blair Shaw from MCS on Business Capabilities as a building block for Business Architecture. Other articles refer to SOA components such the article on “Oslo”, Microsoft’s modeling solution, and another Article on the Service Registry. Additional articles discuss EDA, Cloud from SOA and Design Consideration for Cloud Computing. And that’s not all…
Have a great reading…
