Loosely
Coupled: The Missing Pieces of Web Services by Doug Kaye
Book Description: Loosely Coupled is the first book to address the
advanced issues of web services--currently the hottest topic in IT. While
the authors of earlier web-services books approached the topic through
the technologies and protocols (which are changing on a month-to-month
basis), Doug Kaye has collaborated with the field's most respected technologists
to create the ultimate strategic guide to web services for IT managers
and executives.
Loosely Coupled addresses the most difficult aspects of web services
including security, reliable messaging, and long-lived loosely coupled
asynchronous transactions. These are the concepts of web services that
the experts agree will ultimately be the most important, but for which
the standards, protocols, and tools don't yet exist. Doug Kaye explains
these missing-piece challenges, describes the ultimate solutions, and helps
the reader develop a web-services strategy for his or her organization.
