  • October Meeting - Service-Oriented Architecture, WCF and ESB - Sam Gentile

    Service-Oriented Architecture, WCF and ESB – Sam Gentile
    Wednesday, October 10th, 2007 - 6:15 PM

    The term Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become ubiquitous in our industry. Unfortunately, that has led to massive hype that makes it difficult to understand and distinguish the real value of adapting SOA principles. The current definition also suffers from technology-centric views that are based on the technology environment in use today. The session focuses on Real-World SOA principles and patterns. The session then focuses on both WCF and ESBs as examples of technologies used to realize SOA's.
