SOA with REST: Principles, Patterns & Constraints for Building Enterprise Solutions with REST (The Pearson Service Technology Se,Used

This book illuminates the connection of the two domainsSOA and RESTin a manner that is concrete and practical, providing concise application to everyday architectural challenges. Fantastic!Ryan Frazier, Technology Strategist, Microsoft...a tour de force that elegantly applies REST principles to the industrystandard SOA framework described in prior titles in this series.... This book is a mustread for anyone developing REST services.Dave Slotnick, Enterprise Architect, Rackspace HostingThis book undoubtedly will help SOA to reap the benefits from the main value propositions of Web architecture.Dr. Erik Wilde, Architect, EMC CorporationREST is so much more than just another type of interface implementationSOA with REST shows how the ecosystem of service compositions changes as new opportunities arise for service composition architecture designs. A comprehensive guide and a mustread for any serious IT architect considering RESTstyle services for application architectures.Roger Stoffers, Solution Architect, Hewlett PackardServiceorientation and REST both are architectural styles that are cornerstones of modern applications and cloud computing. Both aim to deliver scalable, interoperable solutions, but their different roots dont always make them a natural fit. SOA with REST explains how the two styles can work together in enterprise environments. It discusses a design process for a services portfolio that meets the goals of SOA and at the same time designs services that comply with the established REST constraints. It also shows pragmatic approaches to meet enterprisegrade requirements with the REST programming style but relaxes constraints where necessary.Christoph Schittko, Director of Cloud Strategy, MicrosoftAn excellent repertoire of serviceoriented patterns that will prove handy when solving problems in the real world. The REST perspectives and principles will provide complete coverage of modernday Web 2.0 style approaches. Highly recommended.Sid Sanyal, IT Architect, Zurich Financial ServicesAn inspirational book that provides deep insight into the design and development of nextgeneration serviceoriented systems based on the use of REST. This book clarifies the convergence of SOA and REST with nononsense content that addresses common questions and issues headon. An essential instrument of modern service implementation and a powerful body of knowledge for software designers, architects, and consultants.Pethuru Raj, Ph.D., Enterprise Architecture (EA) Consultant, Wipro Consulting ServicesREST and SOA are two of the most misunderstood terms in the software industry over the past decade. Yet the REST architectural style coupled with modern RESTful framework implementations provides a scalable and reliable approach to SOA. This book covers all you need to know about how to take the principles of REST and apply them in small and large SOA developments. If you are familiar with REST and thinking about SOA, then you need this book. If you have not considered REST in your SOA work, then this book is for you, too. Covering concepts of both REST and SOA, as well as design patterns and when to use them, the book is a wonderful companion and a good tool for architects and engineers.Dr. Mark Little, CTO JBoss, Red HatUnlike many other texts on the subject, SOA with REST is a wellrounded, easytoread narrative, including realworld case studies that appeal to both developers and analysts. This makes it an indispensable source for any SOA practitioner or any professional who is planning to initiate an SOA project.Theodore T. Morrison, Certified SOA Analyst, CSM, Geocent, LLCSOA and REST are two very important architectural styles for distributed computing. SOA is successfully adopted by most enterprises, and the REST style is getting more attention from both researcher and industry users. The book SOA with REST introduces a new architectural style that i
