It is something I wanted for a long time and finally the feeling of achievement is great. I bought my first ever car at the beginning of this month and its a Suzuki SWIFT. My original plan was to buy a registered car and its my parents who persuaded me to go for an unregistered one, and now i really feeling great about it. Drove it to Kandy couple of times over the last weekend and it was a very satisfying experience indeed. 
A good book on Service Oriented Architecture and Web Services.
This post is comming after a significant delay as i was busy with my work and did’nt have anything worth mentioning here. Anyway I have managed to find a good book (ebook rather) on Web Services. I know that there are thousand and one books already on Web Services and any one can easily figure out how to go about writing a simple Web Service.
Most of these books addresses the typical ‘How to………….’ type questions and are targeting web service developers. But very few books actually discuss the more interesting design and architecture issues of web services and the ‘Why……………..’ type of questions.
This book is an interesting one in the sense that it actually looks at the whole issue of SOA and Web Services from a Business, Design and Architect perspective. The book is Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture The Savvy Manager Guide .
A good starting point for those who want to think beyond the programming aspects of SOA and more.
