It is often hard for most people to get started in a
new technology. Web Services and service-oriented architectures are no
different. There are technical issues and people issues related to
technical problems. Doug Barry can help with both. His emphasis is on providing
direction in early stage, intensive sessions designed to shorten the development
cycle and increase the chances of a successful project.

“While there are a number of good Web services books aimed at developers, there has been
a peculiar lack of books that deal with the very real and important issues that IT managers
have to face in order to assess and implement Web services in their organizations. In this
respect, Doug Barry’s book is a very welcome addition to the Web services literature.
Although all the important technical details are very well covered with very clear and
insightful analogies, the most valuable aspects of this book are the chapters that cover
Web services from a manager’s perspective. For example, the discussion on the common
beliefs about enterprise architectures and how they relate to Web services is a gem and
worth the price of the book. Similarly insightful chapters cover the impact of Web services
on the enterprise, adoption steps and change management issues in implementing Web
services projects. This is a great book that every manager contemplating a Web services
project should read.”
