Service Oriented Architecture Part

The Top-Selling, De Facto Guide to SOA–Now Updated with New Content and Coverage of Microservices!

This IBM Redbook describes the use of XML on IBM servers running z/OS® or OS/390®, and how it can be extended to modernize legacy applications. It provides both a high-level discussion of service-oriented architecture along with practical, detailed information about XML. In addition to an overview of XML concepts, the first part of the book provides detailed instructions for installing the XML Toolkit for z/OS and OS/390 V1.4 and running the sample programs bundled with it.

For the last five years, I've been writing about Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This culminated in the 2014 publication of Next Generation SOA: A Concise Introduction to Service Technology & Service Orientation, co-authored with Thomas Erl and other architects.

This is a comprehensive tutorial that teaches fundamental and advanced SOA design principles, supplemented with detailed case studies and technologies used to implement SOAs in the real world. ***We'll have cover endorsements from Tom Glover, who leads IBM's Web Services Standards initiatives; Dave Keogh, Program Manager for Visual Studio Enterprise Tools at Microsoft, and Sameer Tyagi, Senior Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems. All major software manufacturers and vendors are promoting support for SOA.
