IT is just IT

Infragistics , the guys that are powering the UI layer, are showing of their Silverlight capabilities with their glossy restyled UI Pattern Library . This kind of demo makes me envious. It's about time I start delivering this kind of solutions to my clients myself. I guess it's back to the drawing board and figure out how I can mash this together.

Today I was struggeling with howto route messages through a complex service infrastructure. As usual I consulted Dr. G. Oogle. The doctor was so kind to refer me to http://www.soapatterns.org . The site is a gold nugget for SOA patterns. And I think I will take look at the companion book SOA Design Patterns by Thomas Erl.

Back in April 2005, IASA, the International Association of Software Architects, formed a working group focused on IT architectural "Foundations & Taxonomy" with the specific goal of charting the "largely uncharted" profession of IT architecture. One objective of the F&T Workgroup is to locate, qualify, sort, coordinate, and explain resources relevant to IT architects.
