December 26, 2006: It has been 2 years since Sommerville put out the 7th edition of this book. So what has changed? Three new chapters have been added at the end of the 8th edition. One is entitled 'Service-oriented software engineering'. All about Web Services, which is a burgeoning field. The 7th edition just had a relatively brief explanation about XML and the sundry services developing atop it. Now the 8th edition goes into those, like the Web Service Description Language, and the Business Process Execution Language. To be sure, the chapter is not an exhaustive explanation of the syntax and usages of these languages. For that, you need to consult books devoted to them (and these do indeed exist). Rather, the chapter furnishes a concise overview that gives you the essence of what they can do. I actually think the chapter should have been simply called 'Web Services'. The actual title, while accurate, is too indirect. Another new chapter looks at aspect oriented programming. Again, just an overview. But it does convey accurately what AOP offers. Centred around the key idea of cross cutting concerns. And that conventional object oriented code tends inevitably to have closely related code scattered thru many classes making maintenance harder.
