My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

Restful Web Services by Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby, David Heinemeier Hansson Average Customer Review: based on 44 reviews. Customer Review: RESTful Web Services is one of the best books I have recently read. Before starting reading I have attended a few presentations on REST and I naively thought I became quite familiar with it. Now I can see how ignorant I was about it... This book really helped me to deeply understand what REST is all about and why it is becoming so p...
Java Web Services: Up and Running by Martin Kalin Average Customer Review: based on 14 reviews. Customer Review: I did learn a lot which is all that you can ask for. The book is thin - less than 300 pages, and the author writes in a good conversational style. It is a good tutorial but it probably does not make a good reference as it does not go into too much detail in some places. For example it does not explain how to create a handler when it...

It made the whole book very valuable. The initial section on REST is concise and either enlightening or revision, depending on what you already know. The transition t...
