      Probably. On an aside, fortunately nobody wants me as an admin anymore since I don't have much Active Directory experience, and I like it fine that way (of course, it's not like I look for many admin jobs, even on Unix). :-D

        Myths about SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) 1. SOA is a technology 2. SOAs require Web Services 3. SOA is new and revolutionary 4. SOA ensures the alignment of IT and business 5. A SOA Reference Architecture reduces implementation risk 6. SOA requires a complete technology and business processes overhaul 7. SOA requires an army of consultants 8. We need to build a SOA Facts 1. SOA is a design philosophy independent of any product, technology or industry trend 2. SOAs may be realized via web services but using web services will not necessarily result in a SOA 3. EDI, CORBA and DCOM were conceptual examples of SO 4. SOA is not a methodology 5. SOAs are like snowflakes – no two are the same. 6. SOA should be incremental and built on your current investments 7. Tools, not consultants 8. SOA is a means, not an end Deliver a solution, not a SOA This was somewhat an eye opener to me , since in my company , there had been a lot of discussion of creating a service oriented archtecture * by John Evdemon Architect, Architecture Strategy Microsoft

        I wasn't aware that there were very many programmers that were so confused about SOA.  And business people not understanding the reality behind the buzzwords is nothing new.

                                Definitely most programers are confused. This list has been reprinted in various forms for several years and yet people keep on stating SOA components.

                                  It's a lie. No SOA is special. None of them are beautiful or unique snowflakes. They are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

                                      Great there is a brilliant book on SOA by Thomas Erl Here[^] which i am hooked to right now . What other resources you found useful in your implementation ?

                                      A book I found to be well written that explains why the concepts are important is Document Engineering[^] I am still being told our integration concepts are JAVA :mad: by our local experts.

                                        Myths about SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) 1. SOA is a technology 2. SOAs require Web Services 3. SOA is new and revolutionary 4. SOA ensures the alignment of IT and business 5. A SOA Reference Architecture reduces implementation risk 6. SOA requires a complete technology and business processes overhaul 7. SOA requires an army of consultants 8. We need to build a SOA Facts 1. SOA is a design philosophy independent of any product, technology or industry trend 2. SOAs may be realized via web services but using web services will not necessarily result in a SOA 3. EDI, CORBA and DCOM were conceptual examples of SO 4. SOA is not a methodology 5. SOAs are like snowflakes – no two are the same. 6. SOA should be incremental and built on your current investments 7. Tools, not consultants 8. SOA is a means, not an end Deliver a solution, not a SOA This was somewhat an eye opener to me , since in my company , there had been a lot of discussion of creating a service oriented archtecture * by John Evdemon Architect, Architecture Strategy Microsoft

                                        So exactly what is SOA anyways? Is there something about it I should know? For example, I have a client app that talks to a bill acceptor and a touch panel via USB. I implemented those as services. There's other services in my app too? Does that make it SOA? Isn't anything that communicates between an application and a "service", via some defined interface using some defined protocol, an SOA? Marc
