[Disclaimer: I've received a copy of this book for reviewing]
Yesterday I've finished reading this interesting book from Nicolai Josuttis. I've been following Josuttis' work since my C++ times (which, btw, are a few years away now - enough for letting me sleep without thinking on memory management :)) and I was pleased to see that he still has the some easy reading writing style. This is a book on concepts. Unlike his previous work (which were on a specific technology - or should I say, language), you won't find any references to specific problems you may face while trying to "realize SOA".
Instead, you'll find an objective book which presents several aspects on SOA and offers several good advices which will really help you if you want to implement SOA in your company. And he manages to do all this in just about 300 pages (which is really cool because we don't really have time for big books, right? :) ). That means that I'm giving it 8/10.

Great post on the forums that explains some of the breaking issues introduced by the service pack. Finally, you won't have to build your own form if you want to post the contents of a page to another page (btw, this won't affect you if you're using the new ASP.NET MVC platform).

In these last days of vacations, I've managed to finish reading this really cool book on project management. Even though I'm not a project manager, this was one of those books I've heard lots of good things about and I can tell you now (after finishing reading it) that I wasn't disappointed with it.
Besides being fun and easy reading, you'll find lots of great tips on this book. For instance, I'll be using some of the ideas presented on the Skills and Management parts on my work from now on. If you ask me, I'd say that the last chapter (Powers and Politics) is more than enough for justifying the book's price!
Overall, I'm giving it 9/10 and I'm putting it on my special reference shelf, where I've already got Peopleware (ok, I've just noticed that I haven't publish a review on this book on my blog. I'll do it on the next days), The mythical man-month, etc. So, if you haven't read this book and you're on the development business, do yourself a favor and pick a copy and then read it from cover to cover! You should to be a better professional after reading it!
