More Reviews on the Way
Anyone have some good reading suggestions?
I read a lot, and now that I have a long train commute each day into and out of Brussels, I’ll be reading much more. Some books on my radar include “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” by Malcolm Gladwell, “SOA Approach to Integration” by Ramesh Loganathan, et. al., and a re-read of the “Data Modeler’s Workbench: Tools and Techniques for Analysis and Design” by Steve Hoberman.
I really enjoyed Gladwell’s “Tipping Point”, and have had Blink on my shelf for several months. As soon as my US taxes are finished (*sigh*), I’ll start on it.
On the tech front, I’m pretty excited about reading “SOA Approach to Integration”. The book focuses on WS-BPEL (see WS-BPEL 2.0) as well as Enterprise Service Bus.
I read the Data Modeler’s Workbench a few years ago. Since I’ve matured as a data modeler and have entered a few new industries (clinical, financial), I think it is time for a re-read. But I’ve got to buy it (again) first! Steve gets my money twice :-s
