Summary: It's Clear to Me Now
Comment: With the advent of Web services I've been very confused about the relationship between Web services and EAI. This book clears things up, building on the concepts of EAI and how Web services fits into the stack, including where it works and where it does not.
The author does a great job in providing the basics of this topic, as well as how SOA fits into the notion of EAI. The information seems objective, not the usual hype around Web services, but an understand of the opportunities as well as the limitations. The advanced topics section rounds out the discussion by taking the topic to a new level, breaking new ground.
If you've read Linthicum's last 2 books than you'll find that this book is the final chapter in the trilogy of EAI, and the movement to service-oriented standards.

Summary: Not a Beginner's Book
Comment: This is a good book highlighting application integration, and how it extends to Web services. I was very happy with the content, I thought the information was presented well, and the book is well organized. I'm not a technical type, and I found that this book was tough to follow in places without some additional background research as I was reading...even using the author's previous books.
Overall it's worth the time and the money, I would recommend it to anyone looking to figure this stuff out, as I'm doing right now.

Summary: Text for Technology & Project Managers
Comment: Linthicum writes a comprehensive text for technology managers. The 500-page book describes the world of EAI in detail with an emphasis on web services. It covers the benefits and limitations of web services, provides examples of where to use and not use them, and introduces standards with an emphasis on XML. The book encourages IT to make the much-needed shift from an information to a service-orientation. As such, a considerable part of the book dedicated to emerging EAI styles, such as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), which requires IT to think in business terms and promises to speed development and decrease integration time when correctly implemented. Coders and those looking for technical information on standards should look elsewhere. The book contains many diagrams that are crude but effective. The writing style is unrefined and repetitive. This can be overlooked if you're willing to skim through them.
