Software Oriented Architecture, or SOA, has become embraced by many organizations as a means of improving reusability of software assets; providing better alignment between business and IT; and, increasing agility for responding to demands in the marketplace.

4. |  By: Mitch Allen Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 07-AUG-2009 Insert Date: 17-FEB-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Palm webOS, 1st Edition
A Note from the Author and from O'Reilly Media about what this book

Palm webOS is a brand new platform and represents a very different
type of operating system where the web runtime is used as the basis

basic understanding of the new Palm platform at the time that the
SDK was released; this timing played a major role in the content
and structure of the book.
Ideally this book would have been a complete reference of the new
platform but...

5. |  Open Source ESBs in Action: Example Implementations in Mule and ServiceMix By: Tijs Rademakers; Jos Dirksen Publisher: Manning Publications Publication Date: 28-OCT-2008 Insert Date: 01-DEC-2008 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Open Source ESBs in Action: Example Implementations in Mule and ServiceMix Most modern business systems include independent applications that
exchange information with each other-a technique usually called
enterprise integration. An architectural approach called the
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) offers developers a way to handle the
messages between those independent applications without creating a
lot of custom code. While commercial ESB solutions can be quite
expensive to implement and maintain, a set of high-quality open
source ESB tools offer the same functionality at a substantially
lower cost.
Open Source ESBs in Action shows you how to implement and
use two...
