"Enterprise SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture Best Practices" [2004]

Enterprise SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture Best Practices [2004] ,  by  Dirk Krafzig; Karl Banke; Dirk Slama

This book gives a  good introduction to SOA Concepts and associates with real case studies. The examples are useful in Enterprise Architecture strategies. The initial chapters provided a good historic perspective of technologies and approaches like CORBA, that influenced SOA strategy. I found this book to be very useful.
