2008-12-29 Sunday - Recommended Books for Enterprise Architecture

An email arrived today from someone in Australia, asking for recommendations on Enterprise Architecture books.

The topic is so broad that I am almost hesitant on where to begin. It seems likely that this is a person who is beginning their journey toward architect from the perspective of a software developer background - and wishes to develop a foundation of knowledge and expertise with a broader architectural perspective.

Security is itself such a deep and specialized topic that I will defer touching upon recommendations for that area of enteprise architecture [for now].

To be sure, this list is incomplete - but please recognize it is a first draft - and is subject to change as I have more time to reflect...


The first book that comes to mind, Martin Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture:





The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common failures in enterprise applications often occur because their developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced object developers have learned.

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform.

This book is actually two books in one. The first section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications, which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to further explain the concepts.

Armed with this book, you will have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for use when building them.

The topics covered include:

  • Dividing an enterprise application into layers

  • The major approaches to organizing business logic

  • An in-depth treatment of mapping between objects and relational databases

  • Using Model-View-Controller to organize a Web presentation

  • Handling concurrency for data that spans multiple transactions

  • Designing distributed object interfaces




  • The second book, Thomas Erl's Service-Oriented Architecture, Concepts, Technology, and Design:





    This is a comprehensive tutorial that teaches fundamental and advanced SOA design principles, supplemented with detailed case studies and technologies used to implement SOAs in the real world.

    Erl uses more than 125 case study examples and over 300 diagrams to illuminate the most important facets of building SOA platforms: goals, obstacles, concepts, technologies, standards, delivery strategies, and processes for analysis and design.


    My third recommended book, although a bite dated (2003) is Enterprise Integration Patterns, by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf:




    Utilizing years of practical experience, seasoned experts Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf show how asynchronous messaging has proven to be the best strategy for enterprise integration success. However, building and deploying messaging solutions presents a number of problems for developers. Enterprise Integration Patterns provides an invaluable catalog of sixty-five patterns, with real-world solutions that demonstrate the formidable of messaging and help you to design effective messaging solutions for your enterprise.


    The Coad Series book, A Practical Guide to Enterprise Architecture, by James McGovern, Scott W. Ambler, Michael E. Stevens, James Linn, Vikas Sharan, Elias K. Jo, provides a nice concise general overview of many enterprise architecture topics:




    In my experience, many people that move into an architect role often let their technical skills lapse. Theory and strategy all too often consume the majority of the architect's time and attention. To maintain that technical edge, you need to keep your hands in the code and continue to maintain hands-on practical implementation knowledge.

    One practical book for this might be Mark D. Hansen's SOA Using Java Web Services:



    Or, the more recent, Service Oriented Architecture with Java: Using SOA and web services to build powerful Java applications, by Binildas A. Christudas:




    (not that I'm specifically suggesting Java as the only language - there are plenty of books on other programming languages that are just as applicable)

    To balance the above recommendations, I would throw in three additional must-reads:

    Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprises, by Dean Leffingwell:




    Although the next recommended book may not appear to be relevant to the writer's inquiry - the concepts that are covered in Large-Scale C++ Software Design, by John Lakos, are so important to developing maintainable systems that I consider it an essential text.




    What architect can call their bookshelf complete without a solid book on algorithms?

    Introduction to Algorithms, by Thomas H. Cormen, is my preferred text:




    My final book recommendation for this list, although it has only recently been released (December 22, 2008), is Thomas Erl's newest book, SOA Design Patterns, which is also high on my own list of books to read next.







    The above is what I consider essential for the beginning of a solid foundation for an entperise architect. Beyond these initial stepping stones on the journey, there is the need to add a solid foundation in the areas of security, performance, and testing.

    Additional research topics for further study would include spending time developing expertise with the design of applications using:


    I've also assembled a short list of Cloud/Grid computing resources that may be of some interest.

    Update: 2008-12-30 Tuesday
    Martin Cooke and Vimal Bana contributed suggestions on a LinkedIn discussion of this topic that I thought were noteworthy.

    Martin noted the distinction between Enterprise Architecture and Solution Architecture:
    "Of course depends on what one means by 'enterprise architecture'. If it ('enterprise architecture') is the set of models required to support the development of IT Strategy in support of business strategy (as opposed to 'solution architecture' - the set of models needed to support the development of working solutions - in which case SOA, EAI, Data etc books are relevant) then I would recommend starting with an understanding of 'strategy' as understanding this ('strategy') gives purpose / defined outcomes / requirements to the 'enterprise architecture' activity."


    He also suggested a book, Strategy Maps: Converting Intangible Assets into Tangible Outcomes, by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton:




    Vimal suggested Enterprise Architecture as Strategy, by
    Jeanne W. Ross, Peter weill, David C. Robertson

    2008-12-27 Saturday - Business Development

    Business Development in Tumultuous Times



    I've lived through some tough business cycles: 1984, 1987, 1997, 2001-2004, and now 2008. 2009 is looking like it will be a very tumultuous year - and may exceed anything I've seen before.

    But I am very optimistic.

    Here's why: Just like we saw in the dot.com boom-bust cycle - too much money has been flowing into the wrong hands and was grossly mis-managed.

    We are where we are today because of Wall Street greed & malfeasance, Mortgages that were handed out like candy to children (nonsense like interest-only, adjustable rate), Credit Cards (given out like candy to children), and Real Estate (that was treated like a casino). What we are seeing in the news, the U.S. and world economies, and the global financial markets is simply the hubris, dross, and underbrush being burned away.

    What will remain will be weakened - but what will thrive afterward will be stronger and more sustainable.

    Companies and organizations will have to do more with less. They will have to do it faster (and better!) to stay competitive in this increasingly globally competitive marketplace. Poorly designed IT systems will kill or cripple companies that do not invest in improving their infrastructure. Poorly designed processes will be a crucial competitive dis-advantage. The false sense of comfort that many organizations have lived with - accepting sub-optimal performance from business units (and trading partners) - will no longer be par for the course.

    Growth will prevail, value will prevail, waste will not.

    Now is the time to sharpen your tools for increasing sales, for adding value.

    2008-12-23 Tuesday - 2009 SOA Predictions

    2009 SOA Predictions

    (work in progress, more coming...)


    1. A shift in corporate IT's interests and spending - with more frequent references to Cloud/Grid computing - and less mention of SOA.


    2. Premise: Many corporate IT departments are already stretched thin with existing obligations and responsibilities to support their existing infrastructure and deployed applications.

      SOA is more complex.

      The effort to establish, communicate, train, support, sustain, and manage the infrastructure necessary to implement a SOA-enabling environment is an additional cost - in terms of staff time and budget costs.

      That additional complexity/cost/effort impacts the total cost required for the management of development, testing, and production environments.

      That additional cost/effort will exceed the technical capacity and financial budgets for many IT departments.

      Many organizations will be driven to offload the cost and burden to a 3rd party (Cloud/Grid vendors) - where the operating overhead can be spread across the subscriber base.


    3. SOA Consultants, Vendors, Writers...will attempt to drive a whole new set of buzz-words, perhaps abandoning the term SOA altogether, as they struggle to generate Sturm and Drang in their quest to sell more software, articles, books, and generate billable revenue.


    4. Premise: Without a strong perceived need/mandate for change, organizations are less likely to perceive a need for expensive consultants.

      Observation: Too many consultants appear to be mired in waging religious debates over their differences in defining the The One True Definition of SOA. The focus of the conversation needs to be refocused on the business value - not on the techno-mumbo-jumbo.


    5. UDDI will finally be recognized for the bloated pig that it is.


    6. Premise: The business need to get things done in as simple and painless a way as possible will finally convince the major SOA solution vendors that they need to deliver a registry-repository solution that is affordable, understandable, simple to use, and doesn't consume a significant percentage of the total SOA program budget. A "light" version of their products will be offered (which will more likely than not be based on a RESTful service model).


    7. Business managers will be driven to define an ROI for their SOA initiative before obtaining continued funding of the program.


    8. Premise: The cookie jar lid will be slammed shut on IT folks that just want to play with the latest software toys (just because it is "cool technology").

      I am extremely doubtful of any SOA justification based upon the claim/expectation of a high-level of service reuse. Loose coupling, perhaps (if you spend enough time getting the semantics of the messsage models right).

      Focusing on improving the processes and efficiencies of Enterprise Value Chains seems a better candidate approach for ROI justification.


    9. IT management of large-scale enterprise organizations will realize that they can't obtain the benefits of agility and reuse if their fundamental software development processes are still mired in chaos.


    10. Premise: If you don't have the fundamental processes nailed (e.g. Source Code Management, Iterative/Agile Development, Automated Testing, Continuous Integration Build, Issue/Bug Tracking, etc.) - then all that adopting SOA will do (with its greater complexity and number of moving parts) - will simply decrease the organization's agility and increase its inefficiencies.

    "This series of articles explains services-based enterprise integration patterns in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step way. In this installment, Part 1 of the series, you learn about the two earliest integration patterns—data sharing only and remote procedure call (RPC)—which help introduce the concepts of service provider and service consumer, platform independence, and connectivity. Exploring RPC helps you get familiar with the basic steps necessary for two applications to share functionality. This article also includes a general description of the concepts of loose coupling, code reuse, and layering and componentization. Part 2 of the series continues the discussion of the early patterns, while Part 3 and Part 4 cover the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based integration patterns, including examples."

    What to do when insanity reigns

    Q&A: Miko Matsumura on the State of SOA
    (Miko Matsumura, vice president and deputy CTO, SOA products at Software AG webMethods)
    Khan: "If you had to take a pause and assess the state of the SOA today, what do you see?"

    Matsumura: "People have gone through all of the Kubler-Ross stages now and have come to acceptance of SOA. SOA isn't utopian in the sense that Adoption is painful and difficult. We have been through a lot of cycles where people look for escapist alternatives. But when you get down to it, IT System and Organizational sprawl is a disease, and if you don't cure this disease, your IT systems will become ossified, atherosclerotic, and will slowly become the cement boots that will drown your business. People are understanding both that the cure is as painful as the disease, or perhaps even more painful"


    Joe McKendrick wrote in August 2007:
    How do we really know when SOA ‘fails’?

    "Lack of reuse or sharing by multiple business units...."

    Anne Thomas Manes recently wrote: SOA vs SOI
    Service oriented architecture is hard work. It's disruptive. It's a political minefield. It involves going through the application portfolio and identifying redundant applications that can be decommissioned and replaced by a single service. But no one ever wants to open that can of worms. Many folks live by the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." There's way too much other stuff to do. But each additional application increases the annual maintenance and operations budget. And for many of those applications, the cost of maintaining the application exceeds the value it brings to the business.


    Also worth reading: Burton On Real World SOA Experiences

    And just for the record, in general, when I find myself sometimes disagreeing with something Anne has written, I carefully review my assumptions and usually find myself altering my conclusions.

    "7. They think of SOA as a project instead of an architecture..."

    The ThinkPad W700ds appears to be the first laptop ever to sport two LCD screens -- a 17-in. primary and a 10.6-in. secondary screen.

    The souped-up "mobile workstation," as Lenovo calls it, also comes with customers' choice of quad-core Intel Core 2 processors and Nvidia Quadro mobile graphics CPU with as many as 128 cores. It also comes with as much as 8GB of DDR3 memory and a pair of hard drive/solid-state drive bays for up to 960GB of storage.

    The W700ds is expected to be available in January starting at $3,600.

    In my SOA consulting practice I recently needed to find a better way to communicate the concepts of SOA and the benefits its realization can bring to an organization - without requiring extensive, acronym-laden, reading by the very busy executive management team.

    In my research, I came across this excellent animated presentation that beautifully captured the essence of what I wanted to communicate:

    I've given a lot of presentations in my career. Often those presentations were given in well designed multimedia-equipped board rooms and conference rooms - and quite often - using a wireless mouse and a laptop was sufficient. But I've noted the benefits recently of other presenters relying on a wireless presenter control, so I stopped and picked one up today:

    Targus Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer




    Product Description
    The Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer features all of the necessities that other competitive presenters offer. This presenter has the ability to page up, page down, escape slide show, darken screen and resume screen. It also has a laser pointer button and an on/off switch. It also includes an alt tab application switch. The long-range 2.4GHz wireless technology has up to a 30 ft. range, which is ideal for a large conference room. The preset RF connection enables true plug-and-play capability

    Infoq has just published this article, Key Takeaway Points and Lessons Learned from QCon San Francisco 2008, with many links to some good blog commentary from the attendees (and they kindly included several links to my own blog posts about the conference).

    In over 25 years in the Information Technology industry - which has included attending such conferences as Object World East, Software Development West, Java One, No Fluff Just Stuff, Seattle Code Camp (v3, v4), etc. - QCon 2008 was by far the very best conference I have ever attended. I will be going back!

    One of the personal highlights of the trip was a chance meeting with Martin Fowler during one of the breaks between sessions and being able to tell him how much of an inspiration his writing has been to me personally. The other was a chance to catch-up with my old friend and former Mercata.com colleague, Dr. Dean Wampler, now a consultant with Object Mentor.




    As a small side note, I had an interesting exchange awhile back with someone on a certain message forum, in which I had initiated a thread of conversation around the question of "What conferences do you find most useful?".

    It was suggested that conferences were useless - and that better value would be obtained by reading books and reading blogs of others.

    In general, I agree that the level of technical information retained from attending a conference pales in comparison to reading a book. However, those who dismiss conferences on the basis of such thinking miss important (and not inconsequential) benefits of attending conferences:


    • The synergy of ideas that occurs in conversations with other attendees


    • The revitalizing "enthusiasm" that arises from being in the presence of others who share a like passion


    • The serendipitous knowledge that is acquired by spontaneous conversations

    • The opportunities to network with peers


    • Hearing the experiences that others may not feel disposed to post to public blogs
