Getting a little closer to SOA

Fabrice has written a very good and informative article about what SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is all about.
 
Getting a little closer to SOA
 
If you're not sure what SOA really means, but you keep hearing this phrase buzzing over your head, this is a very good place to start. I particularly like that Fabrice does not go overboard with drinking the kool-aid and shows a real world implementation and considerations for when and if you should move into a more SOA like implementation. It's not all black and white and I for one don't like technologies and concepts such as this to be as changing as clothing  fashion. In fact, I bet we're going to see a title in the near future that says “SOA is the new black“. Ugh.
Fabrice seems to have the right tone of things: not too fast, but just enough to get you going.
