After a long effort, working with Thomas Erl and a very talented team of individuals, I finally got to hold a copy of the latest book I co-authored (and carry it around like a proud new father might) at TechEd in New Orleans.

It’s real, and it’s here now! It is in-stock at Amazon.

If you’re here at TechEd, John deVadoss, Christoph Shittko and myself (we are all part of the author team) will be doing our session tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:00am. The session is “ASI202 – Real-World SOA with Microsoft .NET and Windows Azure”, so you can see the parallels with the book title. It is an architectural-level presentation that will focus on pain points, patterns and solutions. We will be in room 287.

We will also be doing a book signing tomorrow at the Addison-Wesley/Sams Publishing booth in the expo hall (booth #1942 and 1944) at 2:45 on Wednesday. The way things are set up this year, if you want to get a book signed, you need to go buy it beforehand at the bookstore (on the second floor) and then come and and see us. We’ll be there for 45 minutes or so.
