Book excerpt: There has never been a SOA manual like this. 100 Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of SOA. Instead, it answers the top 100 questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education programs. It tells you exactly how to deal with those questions, with tips that have never before been offered in print. This book is also not about SOA's best practice and standards details. Instead, it introduces everything you want to know to be successful with SOA.
