Within the next couple of months I'll be pushing to get the book manuscript out for another round of technical review. Once that is done, I'll start work on ServiceDesignPatterns.com, the companion site for this book. This site will provide brief pattern summaries, similar what is provided on the sites for Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture and Enterprise Integration Patterns. Even though I've not posted much over the last two years due to my work on the book, work commitments, and other family stuff (i.e. new baby), I continue to receive, on average, about 50,000 page requests per month. This tells me that many of you find the content on this site to be compelling, and you're staying "tuned in". All I can say is thank you so much for your continued patronage, and I look forward to publishing the book and returning to regular blogging! :P
