Thanks --

Yes, it's ZapThink's first book, but Jason and I also wrote XML and Web Services Unleashed, published by SAMS, which has been a staple of an XML reference book for a while. It's old tho, and this one is much more business than that one, which was pure technology ;)

Thanks all for your feedback, and we'd love to have everyone's feedback - good, bad, or ugly, so that we can make it even better!

Anyone who's going to Web Services on Wall Street might be able to get a copy. That show is on Monday - so check it out if you're in the New York area on the 27th.

Best,
Ron

Is this ZT's first book?  If so I think we would agree that as ZT has
such a strong SOA focus, it will soon be considered as a candidate for
"industry bible".

However the corpus of SOA books must be growing rapidly.  If you think
it would be useful, I would be happy to set up a list in the Database
section.
