Jurgen Kress reports on Thomas Erl's upcoming book, to be launched during the SOA Symposium 2009 in Rotterdam.

To describe Thomas Erl’s recent book, SOA Design Patterns (Prentice Hall Professional, 2009), as a community effort is something of an understatement—like describing Tiger Woods as “a golfer.” The book, along with its companion Web site, SOA Patterns (www.soapatterns.org), is the hub of a collaborative effort, the spokes of which extend into global communities, including the architect community on Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

Developed in collaboration with leading technology partners, these pre-tested, validated architectures help to improve performance, scalability, and reliability.
