IT Architectures and Middleware: Strategies for Building Large, Integrated Systems (2nd Edition) (Unisys Series)

A great read. So informative about the Middleware space and how it fits into IT Architecture.

As a Project Manager of some years I'm usually in the position of delivering something with an existing Architecture or something that has been designed already. When I ordered this book I was hoping that it would provide a broad explanation of architecture options and explain some of the concepts about - in short, provide me with background knowledge for what I do. I have only had the book for a day, but everything that I've read makes sense, is clear and most importantly, is written from a real-world, business focussed perspective. I'm impressed.
