The purpose of Service-Oriented Architecture: Principles and Applications is to share my understanding of service-oriented architecture. SOA is an architectural pattern in software in which application components provide services to other components.

Service-Oriented Architecture is a comprehensive and practical guide to understanding SOA principles and practices. This book of over 100,000 words and twenty chapters has three parts. I explain fundamental SOA principles in the first part. The second part shows how we can synergize SOA with clouds, business intelligence, mobility, big data, artificial intelligence, and other applications. Finally, I discuss next-generation SOA.

This revised version now has an appendix "How to Find Your Next IT Position".
