Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture: How to Identify, Specify and Realize Services for Your SOA

A huge demand exists for the development and implementation of SOAs. Learn how SOA can help bridge the gap between business and IT through a set of business-aligned IT services using a set of design principles, patterns, and techniques.
This article discusses the highlights of service-oriented modeling and architecture; the key activities that you need for the analysis and design required to build a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The author stresses the importance of addressing the techniques required for the identification, specification and realization of services, their flows and composition, as well as the enterprise-scale components needed to realize and ensure the quality of services required of SOA.

A Software Developer's Reading Plan

This list describes the reading program a software developer needs to work through to achieve full professional standing. The plan described is a generic baseline plan for a software professional who wants to focus on development. Introductory Level To move beyond "introductory" level, a developer must read the following books: Adams, James L. Conceptual Blockbusting: A Guide to Better Ideas, 4th ed. Cambridge, MA: Perseus Publishing, 2001. Bentley, Jon. Programming Pearls, 2d ed. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2000. Glass, Robert L. Facts and Fallacies of software Engineering. Boston, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2003. McConnell, Steve. Software Project Survival Guide. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Press, 1998. McConnell, Steve. Code Complete, 2d ed. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Press, 2004. Practitioner Level To achieve "intermediate" status, a programmer needs to read the following additional materials: Berczuk, Stephen P. and Brad Appleton. Software Configuration Manag

Exploring the Domain-Specific Language Tools

I'm currently familiarize myself with the Microsoft's concept of Domain-Specific Languages. And I must say I'm having a hard time collecting usefull information on the concept. It seems that beside the content in the MSDN Library and a rare presentation on Channel 9 there is not much information out there on the web. Well let's see where the subject takes me. Anyway, this subject should keep be busy this week, before I plunge down in the world of Cordys for 4 weeks.

Going through the numbers: what kind of scope can your agile delivery platform handle anyway?

Today a manager asked what kind off scope and effort the Accelerated Delivery Platform could handle on a project expressed in function points. I find this a very odd question and I have always been resilient to function point analyses as an estimation technique which tries to best guess the end state of a software solution based on and determine by the number of interfaces, screens, reports etcetera. Often this happens upfront at a point in time there is only a vague idea for a perceived solution for specific problem which still needs to be analyzed in detail. Very old school thinking if you would ask me, which is not helpful for providing agile ICT support for business development and transformation. Asking for the ADP platform’s project delivery capabilities expressed in scope and effort is a weird measure for suitability for a software development platform. Given infinite time any scope and effort can be handled by any approach. But then again every project is always about time and
