On the Road to SOA

Over at the spicy ITGumbo blog community, Leah Archibald has put together some great in-the-trenches views of what it means to be service-orienting.

Leah's Mumbo Gumbo comic takes us through the first step on the road to SOA, which is: "admitting you have a problem." (Is that Harry Potter in there?)

In the follow-up installment, Leah explains SOA in simple terms "that hungry people can understand."

Good stuff!
