About this Book
In SOA with .NET and Windows Azure, a team of top Microsoft technology experts team up with Thomas Erl to explore service-oriented computing with Microsoft's latest .NET and Windows Azure innovations. The authors show how modern service technology advancements within the Microsoft platform have increased the potential for applying and realizing service-orientation practices and goals. Specifically, the book delves into Microsoft enterprise technologies, such as Windows Azure, Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Azure AppFabric, BizTalk Server, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and industry technologies and models, including WS-* and REST, in relation to common SOA design patterns and principles. The book walks the reader through numerous code-level examples and further details various technology architectures and implementation examples, such as those related to cloud computing, orchestration, and enterprise service bus platforms.

Praise
"Microsoft's diverse product line has long supported the service-oriented enterprise,
but putting it all together into a cohesive whole can be daunting. From more established
products, like Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation,
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and BizTalk Server, to newer offerings like Windows
Azure and AppFabric, the experts assembled here expose the sweet spots for each technology,
talk through the high-level trade-offs, and offer a roadmap to a unified
Microsoft SOA story."
-Kevin P. Davis, Ph.D.
Software Architect
"This book excels in giving hands-on and in-depth expertise on the SOA architecture
style with the .NET framework and the Azure cloud platform. It's a practical guide for
developers, architects, and SOA implementers. Amust read!"
-Ricardo P. Schluter
ICT Architect, Parnassia Bavo Group
"While the industry overall may have hyped ‘the cloud' to the level it often seems to
cure world hunger, SOAwith .NET and Windows Azure helps cut through the questions
and hype and more clearly discusses the benefits and practical techniques for putting it
to work in the real world. This book helps you understand the benefits associated with
SOAand cloud computing, and also the techniques for connecting your current IT assets
with new composite applications and data running in the cloud. This book will help you
understand modern middleware technologies and harness the benefits of the cloud both
on and off premises."
-Burley Kawasaki
Director of Product Management, Microsoft
"The authors have a combined SOA and .NET experience of several decades-which
becomes obvious when reading this book. They don't just lead you down one path with
a single descriptive solution. Instead, the sometimes nasty trade-offs that architects face
in their design decisions are addressed. These are then mapped to the Microsoft .NET
platform with clear code examples. Avery refreshing look at this major contender in the
SOA space and a definite must for the .NET SOA practitioner!"
-Dr. Thomas Rischbeck
IT Architect, Innovation Process Technology
"In order to evolve as a software craftsman one must read excellent books that will help
you grow and evolve in your profession. One of those books that every software craftsman
interested in good design and best practices should read is SOA with .NET and
Windows Azure. With this book, you will learn which design patterns will provide the
best solution for the kinds of software design problems you, as a developer or designer,
face every day. This book has everything that software architects, software designers,
and programmers need to know when building great quality software with Microsoft
technologies.
"This will undoubtedly be one of those books that you reference repeatedly when starting
new SOA projects. There is plenty of information that even those not working with
typical service-oriented architecture will find very useful. With plenty of real-life examples
(code, design, and modeling), readers see in a practical manner how they could use
SOA patterns to solve everyday software problems and be more productive. SOA with
.NET and Windows Azure will fit in my top three books and will definitely be one of
those that I will use in my everyday work."
