I am basically a .NET GUI programmer and have worked on a lot of WPF, Winforms and also have used WCF. I joined a new job in a bank and we are currently writing a new software to replace existing trading apps. This involves lot of work based on WCF services and we need to use/implement a lot of SOA related concepts like message broker, pub-sub patterns, message bus etc. So, basically means a lot of server side and distributed programming in my way ahead ! We now use simple WCF services that does our job for our service layer but aiming to make this more scalable, robust, secure and reliable.
I have a basic WCF book but wondering if there is a more specialized SOA, Distributed Architecture based book (based on .NET, WCF or may be not) that can quickly help me to get through the curve of server side programming. Possibly that talks about CEP, EDA etc..
Many Thanks,
