Understanding Enterprise SOA

I am currently reading Manning's Understanding Enterprise SOA. This book aims to give technologists and business people an intergrated picture of the issues and their interdependencies using a continuing case study. I hope to get a "beyond the hype" view of SOA and to understand better the business concerns behind SOA.

I will give a full review when I have finished reading the book, and I have high hopes from what I have read so far!

I'm reading this as well. It's not really deep technically, but I am impressed that it gives a good overview and points out some of the pitfalls. It isn't the rah rah type book on SOA there has been so much of.
