So having been a little quiet on the book review side of things, having had a bit of time away with the family Packt have asked me to take a look at their book Mastering Puppet  (Packt site, Amazon); and excitingly I have been talking with people at Architura (the people behind the Thomas ERL SOA books published by Prentice Hall (Amazon)) and the architecture resources such as SOA Patterns with the possibility of contributing to the pre-publication reviewing of a new book in the series in the next month or so – should be interesting.

Talking of pre-publication reviews Applied SOA Patterns on the Oracle Platform which I contributed reviews to is now publisher on the Packt Site and Amazon.
