Blog

After a very long gap, I’m resuming postings. Going forward, this blog will be a source of information about software design with an emphasis on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Cloud Computing. Using my background and experience, my intent is to provide useful information and thought on software design rather than just add to the general noise. I plan on weekly blog entries.

As preparation for returning to regular commentary, I have:

• Updated the free online articles on my Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures website and added articles related to Cloud Computing. See www.service-architecture.com/articles/.
• Revised my 2003 Savvy Manager’s Guide on Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures. This is a book to give to your manager and/or your manager’s manager. It will help them better understand Web Services, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and Cloud Computing. The revised edition is thoroughly updated and weaves Cloud Computing into the discussion of Web Services and SOA. It shows how Cloud Computing actually intensifies forces driving the adoption of SOA.  More on the revised edition can be found at www.service-architecture.com. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page.

I am now also posting on the Cutter Blog. My initial posting is (The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services. It is a response to Anne Thomas Manes’ SOA is Dead; Long Live Services on her blog at the Burton Group.
