Service Orientation? (SO)
An interesting and very informative debate between Rich Turner and David Ing on Service Orientation.
Read what Rich Turner thinks SO is...
"it truly is a belief system and a way of thinking. It is not a prescriptive architectural process or methodology. It's not a template that you can apply that results in a service oriented system. It's where art meets science. It's where aesthetics meets engineering. It's the thing adds a human touch to the things we create. It's inside of me and it's inside of you."(excerpt)
And this is his answer to the question - Does SOA introduce new/origianl architectural concepts? which David Ing decodes here.
And this is what David said, to which Rich replied, What Service Orientation is NOT!
I must say, reading what these guys have to say forced me to revist SO and SOA...
Really great insights guys...
