[Phil Wilkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to refresh, or get a handle on the foundations of SOA without delving into the deep technical details & implementation specifics. By working from the principles, the book shows how the SOA concepts and goals have matured, influenced and grown with technologies such as Master Data, Virtualization and Cloud. The book points to other volumes in the series for the depth of detail and technicalities, allowing you to get the broad picture view and without any vendor colouration.

Very light introduction. Too abstract and high level. As a technical architect, I learnt a lot of theory behind SOA but not enough to start guiding my development team.
