Useful SOA Bookshelf
My Professional Library is speaking out! A listing of print resources new and old, they made it to my top shelf. Some have dropped off the list and new ones added, but all together, this compilation should prove to be very valuable to those of you who still read. However, I don’t believe the Kindle will be of much help with these reference materials – get the real thing. My hope is to one day, provide some short reviews on each with my personal SOA flare, but for now – trust me or lean on Amazon.
