# Integration and interoperability resources

By Roy Osherove March 23, 2005 In [Architecture](https://osherove.com/blog/category/architecture)

**Historical article** · Originally published March 23, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

Here's a great list of interoperability and integration resources on the web. Some of these are well know, some are a gem just waiting to be discovered. Some are great books about integration and enterprise patterns you should be reading when dealing with these issues.

I got the list off of an email that represents an exclusive course that will take place next month. It's a pretty closed registration, and the list you see here is simply the prerequisite list for this course :). So I said to myself "well, we can at least learn what we _don't_ know from this list..."

I checked some of this out and it's great stuff, so I decided to put all of it in one place for future reference:
