The Agile Architecture Revolution

How Cloud Computing, REST-Based SOA, and Mobile Computing Are Changing Enterprise IT

The pace of change in business has once again accelerated, except now the context for this change is far more complex than the simpler, one-dimensional dot-com days. The evidence of revolution is all around us—it's time to identify individual trends and tie them together into a single story of transformation. That's The Agile Architecture Revolution.

Providing practical advice for leveraging the change in your environment to achieve business success, this innovative new book:

• Focuses on architecture, connecting the dots between Service-Oriented Architecture and the revolutionary concept of enterprise as a complex system
• Places the discussion of architecture into the broader context of change impacting enterprise IT and, with it, business in general
• Looks at implementation with in-depth consideration of Cloud Computing and Representational State Transfer (REST)
• Ties the threads of the story together to make the case that we face an Agile Architecture Revolution

All about how business—that is, people—use technology to meet changing business needs, The Agile Architecture Revolution will open your eyes to a new way of thinking about technology, about business, and—about change itself.
