SOA with .NET (Hardcover)

“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 look at this major contender in the SOA space and a definite must for the .NET SOA practitioner!”

--Dr. Thomas Rischbeck, IT Architect, Innovation Process Technology

 

“In order to evolve as a software craftsman one must read excellent books that will help you grow and evolve in your profession. One of those books that every software craftsmen interested in good design and best practices should read is SOA with .NET and Windows Azure. With this book, you will learn which design patterns will provide the best solution for the kinds of software design problems you, as a developer or designer, face every day. This book has everything that software architects, software designers, and programmers need to know when building great quality software with Microsoft technologies.

 

“This will undoubtedly be one of those books that you reference repeatedly when starting new SOA projects. There is plenty of information that even those not working with typical service-oriented architecture will find very useful. With plenty of real-life examples (code, design, and modeling), readers see in a practical manner how they could use SOA patterns to solve everyday software problems and be more productive. SOA with .NET and Windows Azure will fit in my top three books and will definitely be one of those that I will use in my everyday work.”

The Authoritative Guide to Building Service-Oriented Solutions with Microsoft .NET Technologies and the Windows Azure Cloud Computing Platform

In SOA with .NET and Windows Azure, top Microsoft technology experts team up with Thomas Erl to explore service-oriented computing with Microsoft’s latest .NET service technologies and Windows Azure innovations.

 

The authors provide comprehensive documentation of on-premise and cloud-based modern service technology advancements within the Microsoft platform and further show how these technologies have increased the potential for applying and realizing service-orientation practices and goals.

 

Specifically, the book delves into Microsoft enterprise technologies, such as:

• Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
• Windows Azure
• Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
• Windows Azure AppFabric
• BizTalk Server
• Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

...as well as industry service mediums, including WS-* and REST, and many related service industry standards and technologies.

 

The book steps through common SOA design patterns and service-orientation principles, along with numerous code-level examples that further detail various technology architectures and implementations.

「這本書正是解釋服務導向和.NET技術交集的內容。專業作者團隊提供了一個具體可行的指南，從服務導向的基礎知識到.NET服務在雲端和其他領域的更高級應用。如果你在Microsoft平台上創建服務導向軟體，也就是說，如果你是一個嚴肅的.NET開發者，掌握這些概念是必須的。」
--David Chappell, Chappell & Associates，引言

「Microsoft的多樣化產品線長期以來一直支持服務導向企業，但將它們整合成一個有條理的整體可能會令人生畏。從較成熟的產品，如Windows Communication Foundation、Windows Workflow Foundation、Microsoft Office SharePoint Server和BizTalk Server，到較新的產品，如Windows Azure和AppFabric，這裡的專家們揭示了每個技術的最佳應用點，討論了高層次的權衡，並提供了一個統一的Microsoft SOA故事路線圖。」
--Kevin P. Davis, Ph.D., 軟體架構師

「這本書在使用.NET框架和Azure雲平台的SOA架構風格方面提供了實用且深入的專業知識。對於開發人員、架構師和SOA實施者來說，這是一本實用指南。必讀！」
--Ricardo P. Schluter, ICT架構師, Parnassia Bavo Group

「儘管整個行業似乎對‘雲端’的熱炒有時似乎可以解決全球飢餓問題，《SOA with .NET and Windows Azure》幫助我們剖析問題和炒作，更清楚地討論了在現實世界中將其應用的好處和實際技術。本書幫助你理解與SOA和雲端計算相關的好處，以及將現有IT資產與在雲端運行的新組合應用和數據連接起來的技術。本書將幫助你了解現代中間件技術，並充分利用雲端的好處，無論是在內部還是外部。」
