Re: Shameless plug

Unfortunately my publisher (Addison-Wesley) prohibits me from publishing the
book online. You can see the Table of Contents and Preface on the
Addison-Wesley site
(http://www.aw.com/catalog/academic/product/0,4096,0321185773,00.html). I
believe that they plan to publish one of the chapters, too, but it isn't up
yet.

It's not a "how-to" book. It's more of a "why" book. The primary audience is
managers rather than developers. (It's called "Web Services: A Manager's
Guide".) It doesn't contain any code, but it does provide a lot of
conceptual explanation about SOA, XML, WSDL, UDDI, SOAP, and SOAP extensions
(WS-Security, WS-Coordination, WS-ReliableMessaging, etc). I think most
developers would find this part very valuable. Plus it provides a lot of
information about product configuration and product segmentation. It also
provides a lot of good material to help you justify projects. It describes
business models, and it references about 20 case studies with good ROI
information.

Best regards,
Anne
