|Kindle Users can still get tutorial files.,
That said, great guide. I haven’t used Photoshop in a while and this was a great guide both as a refresher and to learn the new features of CS6.

A brief background on my credentials – I’m with Interway , a company that provides software products to companies to help with their SOA needs (among other things).
Getting Started With Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 – A Hands-On Tutorial ([…]) is about SOA Suite 11gR1 and all it’s components.
In July 2009 Oracle has announced release of new product line Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1. Main SOA oriented software of this release is Oracle SOA Suite. In this book, there are all components of Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.2.0 release conceptually explained.
Authors of publication were part of Oracle SOA Suite 11g design team and took part also in development team. They brought interesting perspective to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in conjunction with Service Composite Architecture (SCA). SCA as technology and vendor neutral standard model has to conform to SOA principles and paradigms.
Book gives to reader best value if reader has experienced with concepts used in SOA Suite 10g. While reading this book, reader will get familiar with new concepts and possibilities of usage SOA Suite 11g which is using SCA model.
Release 11g has gone through many conceptual changes comparing to product line 10g. As application server is in use WebLogic and not OC4J, which was used in 10g. Due to this fact there is lack of description about WebLogic itself. WebLogic architecture and installation is explained only as part of installation of SOA Suite. The user, which is trying to install and use SOA suite deployed in WebLogic, has not enough information for usage and WebLogic configuration. On the other hand, there is well-detailed described SCA model. In beginning of the book there is mentioned motivation for SCA and SOA. How SCA is conforming to SOA principles. Authors have used definition and quotations from “bible” of SOA: “Principles of Service Design” from Thomas Erl.
Book contains installation guides for developer and test environment. There is missing any conceptual information about installation and configuration of SOA Suite in production environment and in high availability mode. It should be there; at least in form of architectural concepts and recommendation as such installation and configuration is most required in enterprise (mission critical) environment. After installation guide follows well-explained installation of developer IDE – JDeveloper. Only as optional step is mentioned “parallel” product with SCA mediator – Oracle Service Bus (OSB). It is product, which was developed by company BEA. All products of BEA (including WebLogic) were brought to Oracle portfolios by acquisition prior release Fusion Middleware 11g. Installation information regarding developer IDE for OSB – Eclipse is not mentioned in book at all.
Following chapter in book familliarize us with JDeveloper IDE. Topic as setting the SOA project, creating, deloying SOA compozite aplications will appreciate starting developers in Oracle SOA field. Users already experienced with this from 10g line will be already familiar with those concepts. Next, there are explained components of SOA Suite as Mediator, File Adapter, JMS Adapter, WS Adapter, BPEL, Human Task and Business Rules. The mentioned example’s URL in book is invalid. If user will try to search for those examples will have to spend some time on Oracle OTN pages, as URL reference is invalid. Active reader of the book has possibility to follow each chapter and create/develop SOA project in his JDeveloper IDE. However all this topic are complex and authors focus to conceptual explanation of functionality, the reader will probably have implementation difficulties with those examples and will need to look for more necessary information out of scope the book in order to successfully build and deploy those examples.
It is very positive, that authors mentioned also life cycles aspect of SOA service composites. You will find some life cycle scenarios about design phase, development phase, testing phase and deployment phase. Some deployment ant scripts are shown in order to get familiar with ant technology, which is using JDeveloper and automated, continues integration. Also some test unit as part of test framework available in JDeveloper is shown.
OSB example shows how to create OSB system in OSB console. As already mentioned OSB IDE is not part of this book. This is only as optional step and quick look into OSB.
More advanced topic follows as: SCA Error Handling, Securing WS using policies and WebLogic OWSM, setting BAM and BPEL for monitoring business metrics, event driven approach firstly introduced in 11g – EDN, SDO and B2B support in 11g.
Especially last advanced topics are mentioned from high-level perspective. Reader will know concept about that and will have opportunity to understand principle of approach and functionality. By scope it is not possible to cover more detailed…

|The perfect tool to kick the tires on SOA Suite 11g,
Heidi and her team have done a tremendous job to structure the labs and hands-on exercises in a didactic, explanatory way – with solutions all the way through. This way the book serves not just as a tutorial, but also as a reference bible when it comes to implementation of specific features and concepts.
