| Summary: | "Explaining the intersection of these two worlds--service-orientation and .NET technologies--is exactly what this book does. Its team of specialist authors provides a concrete, usable guide to this combination, ranging from the fundamentals of service-orientation to the more rarified air of .NET services in the cloud and beyond. If you're creating service-oriented software on the Microsoft platform--that is, if you're a serious .NET developer--mastering these ideas is a must." --From the Foreword by David Chappell , Chappell & Associates "Microsoft's diverse product line has long supported the service-oriented enterprise, but putting it all together into a cohesive whole can be daunting. From more established products, like Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and BizTalk Server, to newer offerings like Windows Azure and AppFabric, the experts assembled here expose the sweet spots for each technology, talk through the high-level trade-offs, and offer a roadmap to a unified Microsoft SOA story." -- Kevin P. Davis, Ph.D., Software Architect "This book excels in giving hands-on and in-depth expertise on the SOA architecture style with the .NET framework and the Azure cloud platform. It's a practical guide for developers, architects, and SOA implementers. A must read!" -- Ricardo P. Schluter , ICT Architect, Parnassia Bavo Group "While the industry overall may have hyped 'the cloud' to the level it often seems to cure world hunger, SOA with .NET and Windows Azure helps cut through the questions and hype and more clearly discusses the benefits and practical techniques for putting it to work in the real world. This book helps you understand the benefits associated with SOA and cloud computing, and also the techniques for connecting your current IT assets with new composite applications and data running in the cloud. This book will help you understand modern middleware technologies and harness the benefits of the cloud both on and off premises." --Burley Kawasaki, Director of Product Management, Microsoft "The authors have a combined SOA and .NET experience of several decades-which becomes obvious when reading this book. They don't just lead you down one path with a single descriptive solution. Instead, the sometimes nasty trade-offs that architects face in their design decisions are addressed. These are then mapped to the Microsoft .NET platform with clear code examples. A very refreshing...
