Preface

Early in 2004, a small team within the IBM Enterprise Integration team was asked to draft an IBM internal SOA cookbook to document SOA engagement experiences and share best practices. By engaging subject matter experts across IBM and infusing our own project experiences, we created the first version of a SOA cookbook. This was well received by the IBM SOA technical community, and a general awareness of this book spread to our key customers. Some of these customers started requesting a formal and public version of the cookbook. This brought us together to distill the internal cookbook and author a SOA book for the general SOA community.
