Restart

The lack of new content here recently has been due to my small band of colleagues and I overstretching ourselves during the launch of our monthly paid newsletter. I'm bringing this out in the open to signal a fresh start, marked by the publication on the site today of a new feature article, Adding policy to integration, which is our first since March.

From June onwards, we'll publish at least two articles a month on the site. Meanwhile, issue 2 of the Loosely Coupled monthly digest will be out next month, featuring an overview and vendor profiles of ESB, followed by issue 3 in July, featuring web services development platforms.

I'll be returning to my earlier habits of posting two to three weblog entries here, although there may still be some weeks when I can't hold to that promise. I'm currently in the throes of moving house, pending the arrival of baby twins, due in August. Fitting everything in has been — and will likely remain — very tricky. But the plan is to get things in order and following a set routine by the end of July. If possible, that will include completing a review of what we offer on the website and upgrading the look and feel, but getting the content established on a regular pattern is the top priority. So far — despite some glitches along the way — the plan seems to be on track.

The high standards of content you've come to expect from Loosely Coupled certainly haven't gone away. Watch this space for more coming soon.
