As I recently threatened, SearchWebServices.com has now put together an SOA Lifecycle All-in-One Guide. We have done so with the hope that, by understanding the service lifecycle, IT professionals won't find service-oriented architecture such an arcane notion.

We've got it jam-packed with basics, best practices and how-to materials.
