Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions
by Gregor Hohpe
Some guys in our team are building a messaging system in a current project and I want to get a quick overview of the main concepts involved. This book is not the juiciest reading but if you are into the topic, it's solid. Works for me so far.
Preface
  1. This is a book about enterprise integration using messaging, not a specific product.
Introduction
  1. Interesting applications rarely live in isolation.
  2. Networks are slow.
  3. Networks are unreliable.
  4. Any two apps are different.
  5. Change is inevitable.
  6. Developers overcome the above with: file transfer, shared database, remot procedure invocation, messaging.
  7. Compares messaging to telephone system: voicemail is asynchronous (like ESB).
Chapter 1: Solving Integration Problems Using Patterns
I'm currently reading at this point. Review will continue soon...
