- We need 'enterprisey' SOA, and here's why
- Lately, the fur has been flying around whether enterprise SOA is more suitable for service-oriented environments than more Web-2.0-ish approaches, and I've been relaying the observations of Daryl Plummer, Tim Bray, and here John Nagel, Phil Windley, Jason Kolb, and Nick Carr.
