I will be the first to admit, open source is my number one platform...but when I am not preaching open source, you can often find me on the service oriented architecture (SOA) soap box. Michael Hardy of Washington Technology had a great article this week...SOA comes of age, True believers spread the word about its transformational power.

Be on the look out for more articles about Sun and SOA...
