Building a Better SOA Architect

Bringing services-oriented architectures to life is a lot like delivering a baby -- it requires a copious nurturing, understanding, labor and ultimately ... pushing.

Time for App Development to Get Real

Many people have defined software development as more art than science -- sometimes even a dark art.

Introducing Software Development and Deployment as a Service

It's time to add another IT category to the official IT lexicon: software development and deployment as a service, or SDDS. This one's a keeper.

Determining SOA’s Maturity Level

How mature is service-oriented architecture?

Have you heard what a certain software company has been saying about next-generation IT development and deployment strategies?
