So what exactly is a service? A service is essentially a well-defined interface to an autonomous chunk of functionality, which usually corresponds to a specific business process. That might sounds a lot like a regular old object-oriented component to you. While both services and components have commonality in that they expose discrete interfaces of functionality, a service is more focused on the capabilities offered than the packaging. Services are meant to be higher-level, business-oriented offerings that provide technology abstraction and interoperability within a multipurpose "services" tier of your architecture.

Overview of this book
SOA is about architecture, not products and SOA enables you to create better business processes faster than ever. While BizTalk Server 2009 is a powerful tool, by itself it cannot deliver long-lasting, agile solutions unless we actively apply tried and tested service-oriented principles.
The current BizTalk Server books are all for the 2006 version and none of them specifically looks at how to map service-oriented principles and patterns to the BizTalk product. That's where this book fits in. In this book, we specifically investigate how to design and build service-oriented solutions using BizTalk Server 2009 as the host platform.
This book extends your existing BizTalk knowledge to apply service-oriented thinking to classic BizTalk scenarios. We look at how to build the most reusable, flexible, and loosely-coupled solutions possible in the BizTalk environment. Along the way, we dive deeply into BizTalk Server's integration with Windows Communication Foundation, and see how to take advantage of the latest updates to the Microsoft platform. Chock full of dozens of demonstrations, this book walks through design considerations, development options, and strategies for maintaining production solutions.
