Expert Service Oriented Architecture in C#
If you want a short introduction to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in C# that includes Web Services Enhancements 2.0, then this is probably the book you should buy. The first section is a general introduction to the basic ideas – architecture, WSE, WSDL and SOA design patterns. From Chapter Five on we are into specific implementation details – WSE 2, WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-Secure and Design patterns for SOAP messaging with WS-Addressing. The final chapter looks to the future with a general introduction to “Indigo”, the communications and services infrastructure that was to have been part of the next version of Windows (a.k.a. ‘Longhorn’). Indigo now looks as if it will ship after Longhorn, and perhaps as a separate retro-fit module for XP. The book is always clear with short examples that make a point. The author tends to motivate things by asking simple questions and then proceeding to answer them. There probably isn’t anything here that you couldn’t find by reading MSDN, but given that finding the right piece of information on the MSDN site often becomes a needle/haystack scenario, it is good to have it drawn together and presented logically in one place. If the book has a fault, it is that it probably doesn’t work hard enough at finding the problems with SOA as implemented by Microsoft, and it certainly avoids any questions of interoperability – but then given the book is about using Microsoft technologies and C#, why should it? |
