Service orientation != web services
September 25th, 2007 by sjbService orientation is an architectural concept, not a given if you use an implementation of the web services stack. It is independent of the communication protocol in use. There, that’s off my chest and I can move on…
There’s far too little worthwhile stuff written about service orientation, a problem I aspire to rectify. For the moment, I recommend Fiorano and ThoughtWorks. Both firms seem sensible and committed to delivering engineered solutions rather than merely selling an implementation of web services.
