Living in the Tech Avalanche Generation

I really had to  laugh when I read this article on InfoQ, that discussed a post from Anne Thomas Manes, who suggests that Jan 1, 2009 and the world financial crisis marked the death of SOA. Given that most people in IT don’t know what SOA is and because no-one can agree on a common definition, then what actually died? If this means that JBOWS is dead well then good riddance and perhaps Microsoft weren’t listening and just went ahead and bet the farm on all the new Oslo / Azure platform anyway. Just think, the Internet Service Bus, Dublin Application Server and all the other paraphernalia for nothing; however just cause MS is building this stuff doesn’t mean it will fly. Damn I won’t be able to use NServiceBus or MSMQ or anything ever again………………

SOA is dead!
