Author Description

<p><b>Use SCA to Simplify the Development and Delivery of Service-Based Applications</b></p> <p> </p> <p>Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a new programming model that enables developers to build distributed applications more efficiently and effectively than previous technologies. In <i>Understanding SCA (Service Component Architecture)</i>, two leading experts offer the first complete and independent guide to SCA. Drawing on extensive experience both developing the SCA standards and implementing large-scale SCA applications, Jim Marino and Michael Rowley provide an insider's perspective for developers and technical managers tasked with architecting and implementing enterprise systems. Rather than simply providing a technology overview, the authors draw on their practical experiences with SCA, explaining</p> <ul> <li> The full history behind SCA </li> <li> How SCA fits with other enterprise technologies such as JEE, .NET, Web Services, and BPEL </li> <li> All the major SCA concepts including composition, policy, wires, and bindings </li> <li> Best practices for designing SCA applications </li> <li> Using SCA with Web Services, Message-Oriented Middleware, BPEL, JPA, and Servlets </li> </ul> <p><i>Understanding SCA (Service Component Architecture)</i> provides the background necessary to make informed decisions about when and how to best use SCA to build enterprise applications.</p> <p> </p>
