Safari Books Online invites you to attend an exclusive webcast with Thomas Erl during which he will discuss some of the most important SOA design patterns in use today.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Thomas Erl, author of the newly published SOA Design Patterns, a catalog of 85 design patterns for service-oriented architecture and service-orientation. In development for over three years, the catalog has been subjected to comprehensive reviews by hundreds of industry professionals and is in use by many of the world’s leading technology companies.

Erl will reference design principles and technologies covered by his previous two titles, SOA Principles of Service Design and Web Service Contract Design & Versioning for SOA and will further highlight some of the recent contributions to the SOAPatterns.org community site.

Grady Booch, IBM Fellow says:
"The emerging dominant architectural style for many enterprise systems is that of a service-oriented architecture, a style that at its core is essentially a message passing architecture. However, therein are many patterns that work (and anti-patterns that should be avoided).

Thomas' work is therefore the right book at the right time. He really groks the nature of SOA systems. There are many hard design decisions to be made, ranging from data-orientation to the problems of legacy integration and even security. Thomas offers wise council on each of these issues and many more, all in the language of design patterns.

There are many things I like about this work. It's comprehensive. It's written in a very accessible pattern language. It offers patterns that play well with one another. Finally, Thomas covers not just the technical details, but also sets these patterns in the context of economic and other considerations.

SOA Design Patterns is an important contribution to the literature and practice of building and delivering quality software-intensive systems."
