This book is written for idiots by idiots. The pampering tone and the simplistic examples, that are neither valid nor enlightening, makes me wanna puke… (they ain't even logically valid from time to time).

According to the authors, SOA solves everything (if we just disregard complexity and security). Oh, and yes: EAI is bad for you (and wildly different from a SOAP/WSDL…). Sigh.

Even I can produce better trash than this. As a technocrat, it gives me nothing. As a manager, it is full of techno-babble, with examples that doesn't fit business reality and so simplistic solutions, that if a CIO proposed them to management, he would get thrown out.

And it is painfully boring written, as well as being extremely verbose. Nearest trashbin is too kind a fate for this piece of trash. I can only regret the poor customers that have been paying the authors, as they probably have been cheated out of a lot of money.
