Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Cloud

In the world of cloud computing service oriented architecture (SOA) is something that has revolutionized the world of internet programming.

Take the example of the Amazon Web Services (AWS: http://aws.amazon.com) that allows developers to connect and get information about items sold at Amazon. Talking about AWS I remember an application that I wrote in order to talk to the AWS for retrieval of the book details based on the ISBN. I also published an article on ASP Alliance on this.
