Tutorial: Design SOA services with Rational Software Architect

A new tutorial called “Design SOA services with Rational Software Architect” has been posted on developerWorks. The tutorial is part 1 of a series and “you will learn about the relationship between a set of tools in the IBM® Rational® Software Development Platform that you will use as you design an SOA-based service using Model-Driven Development (MDD). You’ll see how to access requirements from different sources, use a customized software development process, and then start to model a design for the required service”.
