SAN MATEO, Calif. - June 16, 2008 – “An Implementors’ Guide to SOA: Getting it Right” is now available for sale at amazon.com.  Seven contributing SOA expert authors share their collective wisdom in the 100-page book that covers the practical issues facing technologists when implementing a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
