      Why don't typical enterprise projects go as smoothly as projects you develop for the Web? Does the REST architectural style really present a viable alternative for building distributed systems and enterprise-class applications? In this insightful book, three SOA experts provide a down-to-earth explanation of REST and demonstrate how you can develop simple and elegant distributed hypermedia systems by applying the Web's guiding principles to common enterprise computing problems. You'll learn techniques for implementing specific Web technologies and patterns to solve the needs of a typical company as it grows from modest beginnings to become a global enterprise.

      Az úton egyszer meg kell halnod egy epikus történet. Ian Robinson, miután elvesztette szellemi tanácsadóját, megfogadta, hogy eljuttatja hamvait a Kailas-hegyre, Tibet legszentebb hegyére. Az útja a világ legnehezebb terein, egyedül, lóháton, katasztrófába torkollott, amikor letartóztatták és deportálták - csak hogy két évvel később visszatérjen. A történet lebilincselő - a legjobb utazási írás. A hideggel, kimerültséggel és elszökött lovakkal küzdve, magas hegyi völgyekben táborozott farkasokkal, játszva az elemekkel és a magassági betegség veszélyeivel. De az ő szellemi és érzelmi utazásának beszámolója, amelyet szellemesen, melegséggel és belátással mesél el, felülmúlja a megszokottat, és inspiráló beszámolóvá teszi egy ember eltökéltségét, hogy teljesítse ígéretét.

      Something has gone deeply wrong with the university ― too deeply wrong to be put right by any merely bureaucratic means. What's wrong is, simply, that our official idea of education, the idea that inspires all government policies and 'initiatives', is itself uneducated. With the growing emphasis in higher education on training in supposedly useful skills, has the very ethos of the university been subverted? And does this more utilitarian university succeed in adding to the national wealth, the basis on which politicians justify the large public expenditure on the higher education system? Should we get our idea of a university from politicians and bureaucrats or from J.H. Newman, Jane Austen and Socrates? The New Idea of a University is an entertaining and highly readable defence of the philosophy of liberal arts education and an attack on the sham that has been substituted for it. It is sure to scandalize all the friends of the present establishment and be cheered elsewhere.
